Currently Widely used gas lasers. The most common class of gas lasers - gas-discharge lasers in which the active medium is formed by the use of an electrical discharge in a gaseous medium. To improve the gas discharge laser power is necessary to provide the gas pressure is about atmospheric or above. In the transition to such pressure discharge appears imbalance that makes the active medium and unfit to inhomogeneous excitation generation. To increase the stability of discharge use preionisation discharge volume of charged particle beams, the auxiliary discharge, short-wave radiation. In the high-pressure gas-discharge lasers are often used usually with transverse discharge preionization. Of the many factors influencing the voltage: cathode structure, operating temperature, tokootbora mode, the interelectrode distance, gas pressure, the structure of the working surface of the cathode, the latter has the greatest value in order to reduce the discharge inception voltage for devices with low pressure gas. In addition, the nature of the potential distribution in the discharge gap and cathode cavities, as well as the size and location of the maximum potential depends largely on the conditions tokootbora cathode surface. But they in turn influence these conditions by determining the concentration of charged particles in the plasma and their energy. The appearance of the maxim of building increases the energy of the ions bombarding the cathode to cathode sputtering and the restriction of its durability when working in the gas discharge. Therefore, further study should be undertaken depending on the potential distribution of various physical parameters and structural factors of thermal cathodes.
