A transverse flow gas discharge laser in which the cathode has an elongated cross-section the larger dimension of which is positioned at an angle to the direction of flow of the gaseous lasing medium. The anode of the laser is of modular construction and consists of an array of individually ballasted cylindrical buttons. Both the anode and the cathode are so positioned that they intereact aerodynamically with the adjacent duct wall to produce a stable electric discharge between them.
