Abstract

A coated ceramic insulator in a laser chamber that is exposed to a gaseous environment where impurities in the ceramic insulator are prevented from detrimentally contaminating the laser chamber by a high-purity insulating coating. The insulating coating prevents chemical interactions between the ceramic insulator and the gaseous environment. In particular, the coating prevents contamination, by impurities in the ceramic insulator, of the lasing gas.
