ABSTRACT:
Gaseous lasers and their operation wherein during operation in the saturated regime Zeeman reorientation collisions do not occur rapidly compared to the rate at which population is transferred out of their upper lasing level and there exists a static magnetic field of predetermined minimum strength inside the lasing region that is preferably at, or substantially at, the magic angle (approximately 54.70) with respect to the predominate polarization of the laser light in the lasing cavity.
