Abstract
In a gas laser in which a mixture of gases is excited under the influence of an electric field, a first constituent gas of the mixture is introduced into a laser tube to allow a discharge to occur in the introduced gas at predetermined partial pressure. A second constituent gas of the mixture is then introduced into the laser tube until the combined gases reach the normally operating pressure of the mixture to allow a discharge to occur in the later introduced gas.
