Abstract
The research presented within this thesis is experimental evidence of the first functional hollow core fibre based electrically pumped gas laser. Taking the form of an afterglow xenon laser, this experiment is primarily a proof of concept that opens the door to a new generation of compact, flexible gas discharge laser systems.
