Le laser à hélium-néon. - Le milieu actif est [...] constitué par des atomes de néon au sein d'un mélange gazeux d'hélium (85 % environ) et de néon (15 %). [...] les chocs des électrons sur les atomes d'hélium portent une fraction appréciable de ceux-ci dans [...] deux états métastables [...] Il y a par suite une forte probabilité de transfert d'excitation par collisions entre les atomes d'hélium et de néon, conduisant à [...] l'inversion de populations nécessaires au fonctionnement laser. 5, record 1, French, - laser%20He%2DNe
