Buying Helium–neon Lasers
Helium–neon lasers are popular gas lasers, mostly with red output at 633 nm, but also available with green, yellow, orange, and infrared emission lines. They are widely used in applications such as interferometry, holography, and various alignment and metrology tasks due to their high stability and coherence.
