Helium neon (HeNe) lasers are gas lasers which use a mixture of helium and neon to achieve optical gain. All lasers consist of three components: an energy source (or pump), a gain medium, and an ...

Helium-neon lasers may be little more than glorified neon signs, but there’s just something about that glowing glass tube that makes the whole process of stimulated emission easier to understand.
