ABSTRACT:
An ion laser is constructed with means for generating a magnetic confinement field operating in the cathode transition region of the laser. The magnetic confinement field is preferably generated by first and second magnetic windings, each axially aligned with the laser volume, but disposed so as to generate first and second magnetic fields which are of opposite polarity. The first and second magnetic fields of opposite polarity combine to create a region of zero axial magnetic field, which in a preferred embodiment is located substantially within the cathode transition region of the laser. In an alternate embodiment, the first and second magnetic fields are of the same polarity, and therefore generate a region of minimized axial magnetic field, preferably located substantially within the cathode transition region of the laser.
