Popis:	Using mass-spectrometric investigations the gas composition of the active medium of sealed-off cw RF-excited CO2 waveguide lasers have been studied. It has been found that a low degree of CO2 dissociation and a laser power improvement can be achieved by means of a gold catalyst in the laser discharge volume. The conditions for long operational lifetimes of these lasers are described.
