It is well known, that output power of ion argon laser increases with square of discharge current density. In modern argon ion lasers the density of discharge current reaches 1000 A/cm for the tube of 3 mm internal plasma bore and in such constructions the heat dissipated per 1 cm of the tube lenth is approximately 300 W. This very difficult working conditions have created lots of technological problems which ought to be solved. The laser tube should ensure:- permanent vacuum integrity- ability to disperce high power- high resistance against thermal shocks- high sputter resistance of elements defining discharge bore
