Abstract
A new microwave‐excited CO~2~ slab‐laser scheme is demonstrated in a slow gas‐flow laser experiment. The gas‐discharge axial homogeneity is improved by an H‐plane coupling of a rectangular resonator operating in the fundamental mode to a shorter slab laser‐head resonator, below the cutoff. This paper describes the conceptual experimental and practical aspects of the microwave‐excited laser. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
