Abstract

A new microwave-excited CO2 slab-laser scheme is demonstrated in a slow gas-flow laser experiment. The gas-discharge axial homogeneity is improved by an H-plane coupling of a rectangular resonator operating in the fundamental mode to a shorter slab laser-head resonator, below the cutoff. This paper describes the conceptual experimental and practical aspects of the microwave-excited laser.
