Abstract
An RF excited gas laser having an optical cavity that is also a resonant cavity in the RF region is improved by the spacing of discrete inductors at fixed points along the cavity so that the problem present in the prior art of nonuniform excitation of the discharge along the cavity is eliminated and the discharge is essentially uniform throughout the cavity volume.
