Gas lasers were used in industry many years ago, but continue to be of          research interest because the excitation methods and detailed processes         involved are not sufficiently understood.  The feasibility of using a           new type structure, a modified wave guide, to achieve high pressure,            carbon dioxide, laser is demonstrated.  The implications are that this          could lead to small form factor, tunable, and well-controlled lasers of         sufficient power to fit many portable applications.  The discharge              processes are elucidated and the investigation is extended into rare            gas lasers to validate the possibility that these also can be excited           by a radio frequency (eximer) method in a small structure.  Preliminary         plans for follow-up, developmental research are formulated.
