Abstract

A compact sealed off metal-ceramic single-mode laser with an unstable-waveguide cavity has been made, which can use some active media (CO, carbon-dioxide molecules and Xe atoms). The output power per unit length is higher by a factor of 2...4 than in lasers with a round or square channel and a stable resonator.
