Abstract

Abstract A gas laser having a power supply consisting of an overdriven oscillator of relatively low fundamental frequency with an output rich in harmonics. The harmonic content of the power supply output helps to initiate the excitation of the laser; after the gas has been excited the waveform of the power supply output becomes more nearly sinusoidal.
