The main stages of development of the direction associated with the engineering and research of metal vapor lasers, which exists in the IAO SB RAS since the first days of its foundation, are considered. Some of the most interesting, in the opinion of the authors, results that have both fundamental and applied nature are presented. A fairly extensive list of works published in the Institute on this subject is given, mainly in the last twenty years.
metal vapor lasers, metal halides, laser efficiency, active thermal insulation, active impurity generator, inner reactor, optical pumping, brightness amplifier, active optical systems
