Helium Neon Laser Selection at a Glance
The helium neon laser was the first laser
to be used in volume applications. Currently, there are millions
of HeNe lasers in the field, and only the semiconductor diode
laser is produced in greater volume. The key to the HeNe's
success has been its low cost, small size, long operating
life (as much as 50,000 operating hours), and unsurpassed
beam quality. HeNe lasers produce milliwatts of output power
and are available in a variety of wavelengths ranging from
543 nm (green) to 3.39 µm (infrared). The most common wavelength
is the familiar 633 nm (red). These lasers are small, convection
cooled, and can be operated from ordinary household power
services, or even from batteries.
