ABSTRACT:
A lateral excitation type gas laser device having a small size and high output. An anode and a cathode are arranged opposite one another with a flow of laser gas therebetween. A high DC voltage is applied between the anode and cathode to cause a glow discharge therebetween. A dielectric electrode is disposed in the flow of laser gas upstream of the anode and cathode, and a high frequency high voltage is applied between the dielectric electrode on one hand and the anode and cathode on the other for causing a silent discharge therebetween. The dielectric electrode has a diameter of 3 mm<D<d/2, where D is the diameter of the dielectric electrode and d is the length of the gap between the anode and cathode. The dielectric electrode is disposed in a region defined by 0.ltorsim.l.sub.1 .ltorsim.2d and 0.ltorsim.l.sub.2 .ltorsim.d, where l.sub.1 is the distance in the direction of the laser gas flow between the dielectric electrode and the cathode and l.sub.2 is the distance between the dielectric electrode and the anode.
