Abstract: A compact sealed-off metal-ceramic CO₂ rf-excite laser with an output power of 30 MW was constructed. The laser is intended for medical and industrial applications. It utilises a discharqe structure of the gap type and hybrid unstable–waveguide cavity with propagation of radiation both in free space and in a waveguide.
