ABSTRACT:
A flowing gas laser, of the kind in which gas flows continuously through the lasing region and is circulated through the heat exchanger for cooling before being returned to the lasing region, comprises a resonator module and a blower module. The optical components of the laser are mounted on an outer surface of the resonator module, and the resonator module has an interior structure for conducting the circulating gas to the lasing region. The blower module has heat exchange structure for cooling the circulating gas and has a blower for pumping the circulating gas. The blower module is physically separated from the resonator module to prevent the heat and vibration of the blower module from distorting or otherwise affecting the structure or the performance of the optical components. Ducting the interconnects the resonator module and the blower module for circulating the gas between these modules. Precision bore and pin structures are used for mounting all of the support structure for the laser at predetermined, fixed positions on the resonator module without the need for subsequent adjustment of such support structure.
