A radio frequency excited carbon dioxide laser (50) is stabilized by sensing (66) variation in output power to generate a feedback signal (68, 78) that is employed to vary amplitude of the radio frequency exciting signal from a power source (62). Frequency modulation of the laser output is achieved by varying the amplitude of the radio frequency signal from a power source (62) in response to a frequency modulating control signal from a modulation source (74). Both stabilization and frequency modulation are accomplished by combining the sensed power feedback signal with the frequency modulation control signal in a summing circuit (70) and employing the combined signal to vary magnitude of the radio frequency exciting signal.
