Abstract
Co-ionization of the gas in the optical cavity of a laser, the laser employing only two electrodes, is accomplished by employing a low energy source to commute a non-switched higher energy source. The low energy source will generate a discharge in the laser medium thereby causing power to be deposited from the higher energy source into the laser medium.
