专利汇可以提供Gas laser discharge tube专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且In a gas laser discharge tube, such as a He-Cd laser discharge tube, where the active lasing gas is cataphoretically transported from the anode region toward the cathode region during the occurrence of a discharge, a diffusion return path is provided between the cathode region and the anode region. The return path has conductive means located therein to prevent a discharge within the return path, but still permit the diffusion of gas therethrough. In the case where the cataphoretically transported gas is a metal vapor, a density control heater may be placed in the vicinity of the cathode to maintain the density of metal vapor molecules in the cathode vicinity at that value which results in a minimum amount of unwanted noise being generated.，下面是Gas laser discharge tube专利的具体信息内容。
