1. A laser system comprising:
- a gain medium that emits light in response to an applied current;
a wavelength selective reflector configured to resonate said light that is emitted from said gain medium; and
a chamber containing a set atmosphere, said chamber being optically coupled to said gain medium and said wavelength selective reflector such that said light that is emitted from said gain medium passes through said chamber.
