ABSTRACT:
A gas laser includes an unstable laser resonator disposed in a laser housing, and a beam guide configured to guide a laser beam decoupled from the laser resonator out of the laser housing. The laser beam is coupled into the beam guide, and the beam guide is an optical fiber that extends out of the laser housing and guides the beam from the housing.
