Abstract

In a metal vapor laser, (e.g. copper vapor laser), the innermost heat shield (15) of Mo, Ta or W, which is disposed with a predetermined gap (preferably sufficiently larger than 0.3 mm) to the outer surface of the seal tube (8), is connected at respective ends to the anode terminal (2) and the anode (5), so that inductance of discharge load is considerably decreased.
