HeNe Laser Optical Equipment
The HeNe laser is the laser of choice for educational institutions, research labs and applications where low power, stable visible, coherent light is needed. Historically the red HeNe laser has been the favorite choice for educational laboratories. HeNe lasers are reliable with long life at a good price point, and typically providing milliwatts of output power, the laser is a good, safe choice for students to learn optical technology. Today, HeNe lasers offer more flexibility with wavelengths. Newport offers red, green, yellow and infrared choices with superb pricing and availability.
