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.
What else can I help you with?
Which one is the lasing material in helium neon laser?
The lasing material in a helium-neon laser is a mixture of helium and neon gases. The neon gas is responsible for emitting the red laser light when excited by the helium gas.
What two gases combine to form a laser?
An example is the helium-neon laser.
What colour is the light from helium-neon laser?
Red......................and eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr how could you forget green too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The helium neon laser is used for pdt as an aiming beam for infrared lasers?
yes
What is the role of He gas in He Ne laser?
Helium gas serves as the active medium in a He-Ne laser. It provides population inversion between energy levels, allowing for laser action. The helium gas helps to excited the neon atoms to produce laser light at a wavelength of 632.8 nm.
What is the ratio of He and Ne in He-Ne laser?
The typical ratio of helium (He) to neon (Ne) in a helium-neon (He-Ne) laser is around 5:1, meaning there is approximately five times more helium than neon in the laser tube. Helium serves as the primary energy source while neon provides the lasing action to produce the laser light.
Why you use he in helium neon laser?
helium is used for excitation of neon atoms in helium neon laser..

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.

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.
Why electrical discharge pumping is used in helium neon laser?
because of gas in active center Neon gas worked as Active Center for He-Ne laser.to accelerate the Ne atoms very high and efficient Pumping is required. Which can only be given by Electric Discharge Pumping.
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.
