Abstract
Abstract A pulsed gas laser device comprises an energy storer in the form of at least one strip conductor having high voltage carrying surfaces, and a pair of opposed parallel electrodes electrically connected to said surfaces and spaced apart to form a discharge chamber. Portion of the strip conductors extend outwardly from one of said electrodes in the shape of a triangle one leg of which is formed by the electrode. A spark gap is located at the corner of the triangle most remote from the discharge chamber.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A gas laser device comprising an energy storer formed of two spaced parallel strip conductors each having high voltage carrying surfaces, two opposed parallel electrodes located between said strip conductors and spaced apart to form a discharge chamber therebetween, said high-voltage carrying surfaces being electrically connected to said electrodes, said strip conductors having portions extending outwardly from one of said electrodes in the shape of a triangle, one leg of which is formed by said electrode, and a spark gap located between said strip conductors at the corner of the triangle most remote from said discharge chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A gas laser device comprising an energy storer formed of two spaced parallel strip conductors each having high voltage carrying surfaces, two opposed parallel electrodes located between said strip conductors and spaced apart to form a discharge chamber therebetween, said high-voltage carrying surfaces being electrically connected to said electrodes, said strip conductors having portions extending outwardly from one of said electrodes in the shape of a triangle, one leg of which is formed by said electrode, and a spark gap located between said strip conductors at the corner of the triangle most remote from said discharge chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A gas laser device according to claim 1 including rails mounted on said electrodes and extending through said discharge chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A gas laser device according to claim 1 in which said spark gap comprises two spaced electrodes one of which is electrically connected to said high voltage carrying surfaces, and the other of which is at ground potential.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A gas laser device according to claim 3 including a trigger electrode mounted in said electrode which is at ground potential and insulated therefrom.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
