Abstract
A laser system includes three or more narrow-gap laser discharge channels mounted radially about a common axis. The laser discharge volumes may be excited by RF radiation, microwave radiation or by means of the MAGPIE system. The laser discharge channels may be mounted in an optical resonator having a common unstable cavity mode, a toric resonator, with or without feedback, or a retro-reflected toric unstable resonator. A pair of adjacent discharge channels may be coupled to form a ring microwave resonator, and the ring resonator may be formed by a continuous double ridged waveguide. Excitation for the continuous double ridged waveguide is optimally produced by a magnetron.
