<p>An electrode for a transverse gas flow laser has a simplified profile which facilitates the fabrication and subsequent alignment of the electrodes within a laser cavity. Each electrode (10) is essentially comprised of an upper horizontally planar surface (12) having a surrounding radiused edge (14) of a given radius of curvature which is terminated by a surrounding vertical side wall (20). The termination of the radiused edge by the side wall acts to reduce the total electrode width, resulting in a reduction in required laser package size. A bottom surface (16) of the electrode may be provided with a mounting means (18), such as a plurality of tapped openings for bolting the electrode to an inner surface of the laser package.</p> |
