Modular gas laser cathode assembly
In a gas laser, a construction is described for a cathode assembly comprising, a laser tube including a housing, cathode electrode means disposed within the housing at an end of the tube for providing ionizing electrons to a gas medium in the housing, the electrode means terminating in at least one cathode wire located entirely inside of the laser tube, feedthrough means bonded to the housing for bringing electrically conductive leads into the housing into electrical communication with the cathode wire while maintaining insulation of the leads, swaged electrically conducting sleeve means located inside the laser tube for mechanically securely joining in electrical conduction the leads to the cathode wire.
