Abstract
An electrodeless RF excited gas arc lamp for pumping a laser has a lamp envelope in the form of a loop having a continuous bore containing krypton, xenon or argon. Sufficient RF power to maintain a plasma in the gas in the loop is provided by a coil around its circumference so that it is linked by the flux generated by RF voltage through the coil. The laser rod to be pumped is mounted adjacent the loop. A diffuse reflector surrounds the lamp and laser rod to reflect back toward the rod light which does not impinge directly on the rod as well as any impinging light not initially absorbed by the rod.
