A silent discharge-type laser device.

摘要

A silent discharge-type laser device in which silent discharge is established to produce laser output (9) by applying a high-frequency voltage across a set of opposing electrodes (30, 33), at least either one (30) of the electrodes being a dielectric electrode, and signals are fed to the power source (34) which produces a high-frequency voltage, in order to modify the amplitude of the high-frequency output or to modify the frequency of the high-frequency output. With this device, the output voltage produced by the high-frequency power source (34) can be increased or decreased at high speeds.
