US Patent 6,287,869 B1 
Analytical Instrument using a sputter metal ion laser
Internal mirror sputter metal ion lasers are disclosed which employ laser mirrors and a resonator internal to an intregral with the laser plasma tube....Because of the rapid reponse time of these lasers, they may be employed in quasi-CW devices with laser output pulse widths ranging from a few microseconds to hundreds of microseconds and with very low input power....read more.
