Abstract
An Ne-H2 laser employing the 2s-2p transition in Ne is examined at current densities up to 300 ma/cm2. The H2 removes metastable Ne atoms and reduces the rate of excitation of the 2p level, so the discharge currents may be raised considerably. The gain at 11 143 Å is measured as a function of discharge current for near-optimal conditions.
