You need the gas mixture to be 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 632.8 nm. Without helium, the neon atoms would be excited mostly to lower excited states responsible for non-laser lines.
A neon laser with no helium can be constructed but it is much more difficult without this means of energy coupling. Therefore, a HeNe laser that has lost enough of its helium (e.g., due to diffusion through the seals or glass) will most likely not lase at all since the pumping efficiency will be too low.

The ratio of helium to neon gas in a helium neon laser is typically around 10:1. Helium acts as the gas that carries most of the electrons, while neon is responsible for emitting the laser light at a specific wavelength. This ratio allows for efficient operation and the production of a stable laser beam.

Which one is the lasing material in helium neon laser?
It is a mixture of helium and neon gases.
What two gases combine to form a laser?
An example is the helium-neon laser.
The helium neon laser is used for pdt as an aiming beam for infrared lasers?
yes
What colour is the light from helium-neon laser?
Red......................and eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr how could you forget green too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are the uses of helium neon laser?
HeNe laser is used to determine the concentration of a fluid , its application is widely used in the engineering field, esp by chemical engineers. In a CSTR reaction, I myself used the HeNe laser to determine the concentration of the effluent reactants with the help of a detector. with the use of absorbency equations and little bit of math u can determine the concentration of your sample/reactants...etc.
Why you use he in helium neon laser?
helium is used for excitation of neon atoms in helium neon laser..
Which one is the lasing material in helium neon laser?
It is a mixture of helium and neon gases.
Which is better neon gas or xenon gas?
Depends on the purpose. But if you combine neon with helium, and obtain a helium-neon laser, you can see that it is much smaller than a xenon laser.
What two gases combine to form a laser?

How is he-ne laser superior to ruby laser?
Helium neon laser is better than ruby laser or most of the four level lasers are better than three level lasers due to the following reasons: The laser output is continuous in the case of helium-neon laser. But it is in the form of pulse in the ruby laser. Ruby laser requires high power pumping source, whereas Helium-neon laser requires low power pumping source like electric discharge. Efficiency of helium-neon laser is more than ruby laser. The defects due to crystalline imperfections are also present in the ruby laser. But it is not so in the helium-neon laser.

What is the Wavelength of a red laser pointer?
Typically, most pocket red laser pointers have wavelengths that range between 630nm and 680nm. A helium neon red laser pointer has a wavelength of 633nm.
What are the uses of different noble gases?
Xenon and neon are used in lighting. Helium-3 is used in fusion. Helium-4 is used in balloons (to make them float in the air). Argon is used in fluorescent bulbs and tubes. Helium and argon are also sometimes used in chemical reactions (laser ablation, laser epitaxy, etc.) where a steady stream of gas is needed to carry products, but not react with them. Helium and neon are also used in lasers.

What is the least reactive element?
The noble gases: Helium, neon, etc.
Why are helium and neon used together in a laser?
they cant use air cuz its 2 heavy and dence but haluum a thiner verson of air and in neon lights u need it 2 light up
