<p>A microwave excited laser (10) using a sealed CO2 gas mixture for the laser medium. The laser (10) has means for producing a uniform discharge throughout the length of the laser (10) by using a plurality of actuators (64) that adjust the electrical field along a deformable waveguide. The microwave waveguides (26, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38) are dimensioned so that the electric field is operating at or just above cut-off. A terminating cavity (42, 44) maintains gas discharge throughout the full length of the laser (10).</p> |
