Am replacing my 50 watt laser tube with a 60 watt. It is longer that the 50 and the high voltage wire will not reach so i will need to extend it. Anyone have a source or can identify the type of wire typically used here? Hopefully the attached picture of the existing wire will help. The lettering reads 22AWG LS Cable -F- LF A03.

You could use GTO wire like they use for Neon signs or car ignition wire

Check the cable for the voltage rating xxkV.

You can buy the following cables off eBay with different ratings:

20kV -> 20 Feet HV Tesla Coil Wire High Voltage Cable 24KV 20KV Belden Free Shipping | eBay
30kV -> 22AWG 105C 3239 30KV DC Xlpe High Voltage Judd HV Cable | eBay
40kV -> 20 AWG 105C 3239 40KV DC Xlpe High Voltage Judd HV Cable | eBay

Good luck!
