Abstract

Gas laser generator comprising a gaseous active medium, at least one electric excitation line formed by an insulating plate inserted between a first and second metallic plate, the first plate having a slot enclosing the gaseous medium, a circuit for setting up a progressive current wave in the line. The plates are cut in the shape of superimposed half parabolas. A variant consists in producing the generator in the form of two half parabolas such as above but insulated from each other and brought to different potentials. The invention is implemented in high-power lasers.
