Abstract
The invention describes a gas laser comprising a container ( ) intended to receive a gas or a gas mixture as laser-active medium, the container ( ) having an axis ( ) along which the gas laser emits its laser radiation, and comprising further means for generating a plasma in the container ( ) and means for generating a magnetic field in the container ( ). It is provided according to the invention that a group of at least two pairs of magnet poles is arranged, with the poles ( ) extending at a distance from, and along the axis ( ) and being arranged around the axis ( ) with alternating polarity so that the magnetic field emanating from them exhibits an intensity sink in the region of the axis ( ), and that the means for generating the plasma include a source for an electromagnetic alternating field, which is associated to the container ( ).
