PURPOSE:To prevent the surface of a capacitor from being corroded by a method wherein the capacitor is housed airtightly inside a container constituted by using an insulating material which is corrosion-resistant to a laser medium. CONSTITUTION:A container 1 is formed so as to airtightly house capacitors 3 arranged in a row at the upper and lower sides of a conductor 9 and is composed of a corrosion-resistant insulating material such as a fluorine resin, a ceramic or the like which can be divided into two parts. In this container 1, O-rings 2a composed of a fluorine rubber are fitted into packaging grooves formed in separation faces; O-rings 2b of the fluorine rubber are fitted into circular packing grooves formed so as to surround electrode-extension rods 4 of the discrete capacitors; accordingly, the capacitors 3 can be housed airtightly into the container. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the surface of the capacitors from being corded by a halogen element; it is possible to reduce an impurity generated inside a laser chamber to a minimum ; a laser medium can be made long-lived. |
