The recently reported high nitrogen partial pressure CW CO[sub 2] laser regime which operates without auxiliary cooling is extended to the high-nitrogen high-helium partial pressure regime with an output power one order of magnitude above the former one. Both regimes rely on an unstable glow discharge plasma with extended electrodes that presents nonperiodic voltage spikes.
