Energy levels in helium and neon. In the common helium-neon laser, an electrical discharge
pumps energy into the metastable states of both atoms. The gas mixture has about ten times
more helium atoms than neon atoms. Excited helium atoms easily de-excite by transferring
energy to neon in a collision. A population inversion in neon is achieved, allowing lasing by
the neon to occur.
