Helium neon lasers are used widely in commercial and industrial applications. They are used in barcode scanners, holography, non-contact measuring and monitoring, tool alignment, parts detection, blood analysis and alignment of high power CO2 and YAG [yttrium-aluminum-garnet] treatment lasers and pointing beams. 4, record 1, English, - helium%2Dneon%20laser

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

Null-shift or bias errors are caused by a laser cavity, which is anisotropic with respect to the light beams traveling in opposite directions. The primary mechanism causing an anisotropic cavity is the flow of the laser medium(helium-neon gas) moving in the cavity. This flow can be attributed to two effects that is, thermal gradients... in the cavity, and unbalanced laser discharge current. 1, record 2, English, - anisotropic%20cavity
