Improvements in a discharge heated copper vapor laser (CVL) assembly may result in greater long term performance and reliability. This new design incorporates a positive gas seal to allow high-pressure sealed or controlled leak rate operation. High-pressure operation at low buffer-gas leak rates results in a decrease in copper loss rate and, because of this, an improved useful lifetime. A description of materials and construction method for this copper vapor laser assembly is provided.
