No, it is not. Full description link below.
Semiconductor laser
I belive one type is an argon 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.
A semiconductor laser is a type of laser which utilizes a semiconductor as its Photon source, rather than a gas (Argon, CO2, Etc...) laser which uses inert gas as an active medium. Many physicists and engineers consider a semiconductor laser a type of "Solid-State" or "Two-State" LASER.
Gas lasers are a type of laser that uses a gas mixture as the laser medium to produce coherent light. The gas mixture is typically excited by an electrical discharge or other means to generate the laser beam. Gas lasers are used in various applications such as cutting, marking, welding, and scientific research.
solid
Chemicals,carbon dioxide,agron gas,and semiconducters produce a laser.
None, LASER diodes are solid state semiconductor devices.
A hene laser work using a tube filled with helium and neon gas, and two mirrors. When the gas is excited, one mirror reflects the laser completely, while one lets a smaller percent of the desired wavelength pass through which emits the laser.
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.
laser printer
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.
