Helium Neon Laser - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
As an alternative to krypton ion lasers for longer wavelength lines, helium–neon lasers are available with a 1- to 10-m W output at 543 nm (green), 595 nm (yellow), or 633 nm (red). These air-cooled lasers are inexpensive, have long lifetimes (~ 20,000 hr), and no adjustments of laser optics are needed because their emission wavelength cannot ...
