WAVEGUIDE CO LASER WITH HIGH-FREQUENCY EXCITATION Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: laser devices for medicine and industry. SUBSTANCE: device has housing, where plate insulator and high-frequency electrodes are located. Electrodes provide two parallel waveguide- discharge channels, which are connected to one another by means of rotating mirrors. Insulator is designed as four plates, between which additional electrode is introduced. This electrode contacts housing by electric connection and heat. Walls of waveguide discharge channels which are shaped by electrodes, are perpendicular to light fall plane of rotating mirrors. Both electrodes and housing are made from aluminum. Additional electrode, which is shaper as cylinder, is mounted without space in cylindrical hole provided in housing. Additional electrode has cross slits and is spring-loaded to side surfaces of insulator plates by means of introduced springs. High-frequency electrodes engages longitudinal slits which are made in insulator plates. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 2 cl, 3 dwg
