Abstract
The turn-on delay of a gas laser is significantly reduced by inducing a transient electric field of sufficient intensity to induce ionization in a localized region of the laser adjacent to the anode. This is accomplished by means of a coupler which couples the voltage applied to the cathode to a region of the laser immediately adjacent to the anode electrode.
