METAL-CERAMICS ACTIVE BODY OF GAS LASER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: quantum electronics. SUBSTANCE: device has optical unit for beam output, cathode and anode units and gas-discharge gap which is shaped by part of metal-ceramics envelope in which cup-shaped members 2, which have communication holes 4 and are fixed by and contact to envelope 1 and three-dimensional discharge clippers 3. In addition device has discharge quenchers 5. Main discharge gap is designed as one dielectric three-dimensional discharge clipper or group of discharge clippers. Set of cup-shaped members which are joined by extended dielectric clipper has at least one discharge quencher. Metal-ceramic active body has three-dimensional gas-permeable dielectric discharge quencher which is shared by all cup-shaped members. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 3 cl, 4 dwg
