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.

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 ...

Ultraviolet The laser has output corresponding to the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. Ultraviolet is considered the wavelength range from 1 nm to 390 nm. Violet The laser has output corresponding ...
