Abstract

A discharge tube structure of a gas laser generator has end common vessels at its both end sections and an intermediate common vessel at its intermediate section. The end common vessels and intermediate common vessel are connected through the first and second cooling ducts to a centrifugal blower, which is provided at its center the first communicating port communicating with the first cooling duct and at least two second communicating ports communicating with the second cooling ducts opposed to each other with respect to the first communicating port. The simplified second cooling ducts allows the mixture gas to be supplied smoothly to the intermediate common vessel, thereby increasing the laser output.
