Abstract
Design of a continuous were helium-neon visible gas laser has been described. Brewster angle window of fused quartz and external concave mirrors of B.S.C. glass have been used in the fabrication of resonant cavity. An RF oscillator having variable frequency in the range of 20-30 MHz and an out-put power of about 50 watts served as excitation source. Different mixture ratios of He and Ne have been tried and for each ratio power output was measured versus total pressure inside the discharge tube keeping cavity length constant. The optimum power output has been obtained for 5:1 mixture at 1.4 torr for a tube of length 55 cm and internal diameter 0.5 cm. Laser action at 1.53 meu has been achieved.`
