Abstract
The construction of the active element on metal vapor is presented. Functions of creating metal vapor and their excitation are devided between two different sources. Metal vapors are formed by induction heating of the dispenser which is located outside of the active zone. The excitation is carried out due to the commutation of the high-voltage pump pulse. The efficiency of the construction was investigated. The laser generation on copper atoms were obtained. Under conditions of independent heating of the dispenser, stable lasing was obtained on the lines 510.6 nm and 578.2 nm at a pumping pulse repetition rate of 15 kHz.
