A pulse oscillating gas laser device, which can reduce an influence of a
shock wave caused by primary discharge and perform stable laser
oscillation is provided. To this end, the device is a pulse oscillating
gas laser device for exciting a laser gas by causing primary discharge in
a pulse form between a pair of discharge electrodes (14, 15) opposing each
other and oscillating laser light, in which a rib portion (42) with
insulating properties for preventing creeping discharge is provided on a
cathode base (36) with insulating properties, to which the discharge
electrode (15) at a high voltage side is fixed, and a damping material
(45) for attenuating a shock wave (41) caused by the primary discharge is
inserted in an inside of a groove portion (52) between a raised portion
(43) of the rib portion (42) and the high-voltage side discharge electrode
(15).
