Abstract
A transverse RF pumped gas laser has a large area discharge which is of generally rectangular shape in all plan views. In cross-section the geometry of the discharge has a longer and a shorter dimension, the longer dimension being between the electrodes to which RF power is supplied and the shorter dimension, suitable for guiding intracavity laser light, being defined by ceramic side walls.
