Abstract
A diode-pumped gas laser includes a source of optical diode-pumping light and a gas cell having a first optical window for receiving the diode-pumping light. The gas cell contains a laser gas including a lasing gas comprised of at least one absorbing and lasing atomic or molecular gas. The lasing gas has an optical absorption band which is at least partially overlapped by the bandwidth of the diode-pumping light. The gas laser also includes a gas laser resonator for providing an output laser beam which is emitted from the gas cell via a second optical window. The output laser beam has one or more laser wavelengths. The gas laser may also include diode optics for directing the diode-pumping light through the first optical window and a heat power regulation system for regulating the temperature of the source of optical diode-pumping light.
