HELUM -NEON LASER CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING ( HE-NE)

"HE-NE LASER CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING"
Helium-Neon laser definition:
Helium-Neon laser is a type of gas laser in which a mixture of helium and neon gas is used as a gain medium. Helium-Neon laser is also known as He-Ne laser.
What is a gas laser? :
A gas laser is a type of laser in which a mixture of gas is used as the active medium or laser medium. Gas lasers are the most widely used lasers.
Gas lasers range from the low power helium-neon lasers to the very high power carbon dioxide lasers. The helium-neon lasers are most commonly used in college laboratories whereas the carbon dioxide lasers are used in industrial applications.
The main advantage of gas lasers (eg: He-Ne lasers) over solid state lasers is that they are less prone to damage by overheating so they can be run continuously.
What is helium-neon laser?:
At room temperature, a ruby laser will only emit short bursts of laser light, each laser pulse occurring after a flash of the pumping light. It would be better to have a laser that emits light continuously. Such a laser is called a continuous wave (CW) laser.
The helium-neon laser was the first continuous wave (CW) laser ever constructed. It was built in 1961 by Ali Javan, Bennett, and Herriott at Bell Telephone Laboratories.
Helium-neon lasers are the most widely used gas lasers. These lasers have many industrial and scientific uses and are often used in laboratory demonstrations of optics.
In He-Ne lasers, the optical pumping method is not used instead an electrical pumping method is used. The excitation of electrons in the He-Ne gas active medium is achieved by passing an electric current through the gas.
The helium-neon laser operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nanometers (nm), in the red portion of the visible spectrum.
Helium-neon laser construction:
The helium-neon laser consists of three essential components:
1.Pump source (high voltage power supply)
2.Gain medium (laser glass tube or discharge glass tube)
3.Resonating cavityhe helium-neon laser consists of three essential components:
1.Pump source (high voltage power supply)
In order to produce the laser beam, it is essential to achieve population inversion. Population inversion is the process of achieving more electrons in the higher energy state as compared to the lower energy state.
In general, the lower energy state has more electrons than the higher energy state. However, after achieving population inversion, more electrons will remain in the higher energy state than the lower energy state.
In order to achieve population inversion, we need to supply energy to the gain medium or active medium. Different types of energy sources are used to supply energy to the gain medium.
In ruby lasers and Nd:YAG lasers, the light energy sources such as flashtubes or laser diodes are used as the pump source. However, in helium-neon lasers, light energy is not used as the pump source. In helium-neon lasers, a high voltage DC power supply is used as the pump source. A high voltage DC supplies electric current through the gas mixture of helium and neon.
Gain medium (discharge glass tube or glass envelope):
The gain medium of a helium-neon laser is made up of the mixture of helium and neon gas contained in a glass tube at low pressure. The partial pressure of helium is 1 mbar whereas that of neon is 0.1 mbar.
The gas mixture is mostly comprised of helium gas. Therefore, in order to achieve population inversion, we need to excite primarily the lower energy state electrons of the helium atoms.
In He-Ne laser, neon atoms are the active centers and have energy levels suitable for laser transitions while helium atoms help in exciting neon atoms.
Electrodes (anode and cathode) are provided in the glass tube to send the electric current through the gas mixture. These electrodes are connected to a DC power supply.
Resonating cavity:
The glass tube (containing a mixture of helium and neon gas) is placed between two parallel mirrors. These two mirrors are silvered or optically coated.
Each mirror is silvered differently. The left side mirror is partially silvered and is known as output coupler whereas the right side mirror is fully silvered and is known as the high reflector or fully reflecting mirror.
The fully silvered mirror will completely reflect the light whereas the partially silvered mirror will reflect most part of the light but allows some part of the light to produce the laser beam.
Working of helium-neon laser:
In order to achieve population inversion, we need to supply energy to the gain medium. In helium-neon lasers, we use high voltage DC as the pump source. A high voltage DC produces energetic electrons that travel through the gas mixture.
The gas mixture in helium-neon laser is mostly comprised of helium atoms. Therefore, helium atoms observe most of the energy .................

[@pavannnaini]

I am teacher with two years experience. This video is fantastic. Most interesting parts in this videos are about quartz, resonance transfer, Brewster angle . These concepts made it more clear. Ur a great teacher sir. Ur inspiring teachers also

[@UnExplorateur]

@insert username People don't ask about logics, just follow the description.. Nobody asks why the He excited level is equal to the Ne excitation level.. and why there are two different excitaions.. so many questions to follow.. and these topics about different types of lasers and their working are not well explored in RUclips also..

[@pavannnaini]

I knew the reasons for it.

[@UnExplorateur]

@@pavannnaini Can you please explain what are those 2-3 S and 2-1 S energy levels of He ??
