A high pressure transverse-electric-excitation sealed-off 2 kW cw CO/sub 2/ laser with high efficiency for industrial use has been developed. Its output power is greater than 2.3 kW with an energy conversion efficiency of higher than 17% during 13 hr of continuous operation. The discharge and output power characteristics have been investigated. The electron temperature and density under various discharge conditions have also been measured.
