Ion laser having direct liquid cooling of segmented discharge tube
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6742489
An ion laser is described comprising: a tube having a longitudinal discharge bore therethrough, the tube being formed of a plurality of segments, the segments being adjoined at exteriorly conductive regions, the tube containing a gas capable of ionic lasing action, at least one elongated sleeve of thermally conducting, electrically insulating material covering the outer peripheral edges of the conductive regions of the tube, in a fluid-excluding fit, means for passing coolant in direct contact with the outer surface of the sleeve, cathode and anode means at opposite ends of the tube for sustaining an ionic discharge in the tube, and a resonant optical cavity aligned with the tube.
