    摘要: A waveguide gas laser includes an enclosure filled with a lasing gas. A ceramic block is provided with one or more waveguide channels. At least one of the waveguide channels includes an open region which is in fluid communication with a waveguide channel. Lasing gas in the enclosure fills the waveguide channels and the lateral extension. An electric field is applied across the lateral extension of the waveguide channel while simultaneously applying a smaller electric field across the waveguide channel. The electric field across the lateral extension ignites a discharge in the lateral extension that spreads into the lasing gas in the waveguide channel. The electric field across the waveguide channel is sufficient to sustain the discharge in the lasing in the waveguide channel.

    摘要: A laser output beam is directed into an acousto-optic cell. The acousto-optic cell is driven by RF voltages at a plurality of different frequencies. Portions of the laser output beam are diffracted by the acousto-optic cell at a plurality of different angles corresponding the different drive frequencies. The different portions of the output beam define a plurality of secondary beams. The magnitude of the RF voltages applied to the acousto-optic cell and the power in the laser output beam may be cooperatively varied to provide a predetermined power in each of the secondary beams.
