A laser discharge tube assembly for a HF-excited gas laser, the laser discharge tube assembly comprising:
- a laser discharge tube;
- at least two electrodes disposed outside of the laser discharge tube,
- wherein the electrodes are disposed at a separation from the laser discharge tube and are completely embedded into at least one insulating dielectric material.
A method for producing an outer tube of a laser discharge tube assembly of a HF-excited gas laser, comprising:
- applying electrodes onto a support tube of an insulating dielectric material;
- and
- applying an outer dielectric of the insulating dielectric material onto the electrodes,
- wherein the electrodes are completely embedded into the insulating dielectric material.
A method for producing a laser discharge tube assembly of a HF-excited gas laser, comprising:
- immersing a strip-shaped electrode into a liquid insulating dielectric material;
- drying the insulating dielectric material on the electrode, wherein the dried insulating dielectric material forms an outer strip completely embedding the electrode;
- and
- disposing the embedded electrode at a separation from a laser discharge tube to provide the laser discharge tube assembly.
A method for producing a laser discharge tube assembly of a HF-excited gas laser, comprising:
- coating a strip-shaped electrode in a wet method or by powder coating with an insulating dielectric material;
- burning-in or sintering the insulating dielectric material, wherein after coating and burning-in or sintering the electrode is completely embedded in the insulating dielectric material;
- and
- disposing the embedded electrode at a separation from a laser discharge tube to provide the laser discharge tube assembly.
