摘要： A pre-ionizing arrangement for a gas laser includes two ceramic-jacketed ionizer electrodes extending into an enclosure including spaced-apart slab electrodes of the laser and a lasing gas at reduced pressure. RF power is applied to the dielectric-jacketed ionizer electrodes creating a gas discharge between the dielectric-jacketed ionizer electrodes. This discharge provides ions in the laser gas. The presence of these ions in the lasing gas facilitates ignition of a gas discharge between the slab electrodes for energizing the laser.

摘要翻译： 用于气体激光器的预电离装置包括延伸到外壳中的两个陶瓷夹套离子发生器电极，其包括激光器的间隔开的平板电极和减压的激光气体。 将RF功率施加到电介质夹套的电离器电极上，在电介质夹套的电离器电极之间产生气体放电。 该放电在激光气体中提供离子。 这些离子在激光气体中的存在有助于在板状电极之间点燃气体放电以激励激光。
