Abstract

The Helium-Neon (HeNe) laser, a mainstay in spectroscopic applications due to its visible red beam at 632.8 nm, combines widespread utility in professional fields with popularity among hobbyists because of its low operational costs and simplicity. However, the heart of enabling such lasers lies in their high-voltage direct current (DC) power supplies, designed to meticulously manage the gas discharge process essential for laser operation. This project proposes the design and development of a novel HeNe laser power supply that is not only cost-effective and lightweight but also efficient and capable of maintaining the optimal conditions for the helium and neon gas mixture within the laser tube. Through a comprehensive approach that includes the analysis of existing laser power supply designs and the rigorous testing of the newly developed system, this project aims to contribute significantly to the field of laser technology. Additionally, it explores the broader implications of such technological advancements on the use of organic electro-optic materials in various applications, highlighting the project's relevance and potential impact on both current and future electro-optic and laser technologies. The development of this power supply is anticipated to broaden the accessibility and utility of HeNe lasers, further enhancing their application in educational, hobbyist, and professional settings, and advancing the field of laser technology with a focus on efficiency, affordability, and innovation
