HeNe Laser (1990)
Melles Griot HeNe Laser
Operating a small tube.
Helium, It's a Gas! Add a little Neon (a gas too) Mix it up a bit and what have you got?
What is a He-Ne Gas Laser? Right!
It doesn't do anything until we hook up a power supply. What do we need? A high voltage current limited source. About 1600 Volts would be good.
OK, lets hook'er up and turn on the power. About 30 seconds warm up and we got a nice laser output. This tube rated at 0.9 mW.
Now what do we do with it? It's foggy this morning, lets go outside. Wow! Cool, is that neat. Did ya take a picture? Nope, forgot, we had fun though...
