Abstract
Continuous wave laser oscillation has been achieved in a segmented plasma excitation and recombination device in the presence of a low-pressure background gas which rapidly flows across the segmented electrodes. Laser action has been observed in Cd I at 1.40, 1.43, 1.44, and 1.64 .mu.m. Also disclosed are techniques for allowing the background gas to flow between the electrodes and for confining the expanding plasmas with shields in the vicinity of the gaps between electrodes.
