Abstract
In a coaxially constructed gas laser with a capillary fused at one end to the glass casing surrounding it and enclosed at its free end by a supporting spring the supporting spring contains a perforated disc of a material adapted thermally to the jacket glass and is framed by a shrunk-on jacket constriction. Such a mount is extraordinarily stable mechanically and thermally. In a preferred embodiment the supporting spring is a multipart spring: attached to the thermally adapted perforated disc are two other, smaller perforated discs consisting of a spring material of temperature constancy and containing the actual spring elements.
