  2. Helium–neon laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliumneon_laser

    The gain medium of the laser, as suggested by its name, is a mixture of helium and neon gases, in approximately a 10:1 ratio, contained at low pressure in a glass envelope. The gas mixture is mostly helium, so that helium atoms can be excited. The excited helium atoms collide with neon atoms, exciting some of them to the state that radiates 632 ...

  3. List of laser types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laser_types

    Laser types with distinct laser lines are shown above the wavelength bar, while below are shown lasers that can emit in a wavelength range. The height of the lines and bars gives an indication of the maximal power/pulse energy commercially available, while the color codifies the type of laser material (see the figure description for details).

  4. Gas laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laser

    The gas laser was the first continuous-light laser and the first laser to operate on the principle of converting electrical energy to a laser light output. The first gas laser, the Heliumneon laser (HeNe), was co-invented by Iranian engineer and scientist Ali Javan and American physicist William R. Bennett, Jr., in 1960. It produced a ...

  5. Laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser

    A heliumneon laser demonstration. The glow running through the center of the tube is an electric discharge. This glowing plasma is the gain medium for the laser. The laser produces a tiny, intense spot on the screen to the right. The center of the spot appears white because the image is overexposed there. Spectrum of a heliumneon laser.

  6. Laser construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_construction

    A heliumneon (HeNe) laser uses an electrical discharge in the helium-neon gas mixture, a Nd:YAG laser uses either light focused from a xenon flash lamp or diode lasers, and excimer lasers use a chemical reaction.

  7. Optical flat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_flat

    Most lasers emit light of a very narrow bandwidth, and often provide a suitable light source. A heliumneon laser emits light at 632 nanometres (red), while a frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser emits light at 532 nm (green). Various laser diodes and diode-pumped solid-state lasers emit light in red, yellow, green, blue or violet.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_R._Bennett_Jr.

    He discovered the argon ion laser, was first to observe spectral hole burning effects in gas lasers, and created a theory of hole burning effects on laser oscillation. He was co-discoverer of lasers using electron impact excitation in each of the noble gases, dissociative excitation transfer in the neon-oxygen laser (the first chemical laser ...

  9. LaserDisc player - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc_player

    The earliest players employed gas heliumneon laser tubes to read discs and had a red-orange light with a wavelength of 628 nm, while later solid-state players used infrared semiconductor laser diodes with a wavelength of 780 nm. Both the Magnavox Magnavision and the Pioneer LD players used the same model of laser tube.
