helium laser

In the fascinating world of science and technology, there is a nifty little invention known as the helium laser. This incredible instrument is so significant for research and industry that it is considered one of the core components of laser technology. Let’s discover helium lasers and what they do!

The helium laser began in the 1960s when scientists discovered that helium gas behaved in unusual ways. That means it is good for building lasers. By blending helium with other gases, researchers have produced a powerful laser that can emit a fat beam of light.

The science behind the helium laser

The science of how the helium laser works is pretty neat. Electricity or another source of energy excites a mixture of helium gas and other gases inside the laser. This arousal causes the helium atoms to emit light particles, or photons. These photons ricochet between mirrors in laser. As additional photons are generated, they form a straight beam of light that emerges from the laser opening.
