Abstract
Summary form only. A new continuous wave (CW) transverse radio frequency (RF) excited Ar-He-Xe laser was reported recently. Because of its potential advantages (very high gain, lasing in an atmospheric transmission window near 2 /spl mu/m and 4 /spl mu/m) this laser has attracted the attention of several research groups. It soon led to a substantial improvement of the laser performance resulting in an output power in the order of 10 watts.
