Abstract

Mixing power laser apparatus, comprising a generator of a flow of excited nitrogen (1), and structure (6; 19) to introduce a flow of CO.sub.2 into the flow of excited nitrogen. The generator (1) is of the cold corona electric discharge type operating at a pressure greater than 0.3.times.10.sup.5 Pa, and is coupled to a waveguide (2) with mirrors (3, 4) opposed along a principal direction of the waveguide. For use particularly in cutting material.
