laserazinetype
Laserazine is a type of laser that uses a mixture of helium and neon gases as its active medium. It operates on the principle of stimulated emission, where a photon of light induces the emission of another photon from an excited atom. The laserazine laser was first demonstrated in 1960 by Ali Javan, William R. Bennett, and Donald R. Herriott. It is notable for being the first gas laser to operate continuously at room temperature, making it a significant milestone in the development of laser technology.
