Isotopes

Deuterium Fluoride Info: The DF (Deuterium Fluoride) chemical laser is produced by mixing fluorine gas with deuterium gas under special conditions to form DF lasers in an excited state. DF lasers produce a longer wavelength than other more traditional HF lasers, giving the user more effective laser transmission through the atmosphere. Spectra Gases’ unique position as a world leader in deuterium production provides our customers with the opportunity to use only the highest quality DF laser gas, and peace of mind from knowing that the technical expertise and service they receive from Spectra is second to none in the specialty gas industry.

DF Deuterium Gas: Deuterium is used in lasers, nuclear power, fusion power, deuterated optical fibers, deuterated lubricants, light bulbs, R & D laboratories, and annealing semiconductor materials and is available in high chemical purity and enrichment. ::: DF Deuterium Gas Brochure

DF Nitrogen Trifluoride: Nitrogen trifluoride gas has been used successfully as a fluorine source for high energy chemical lasers. It is sometimes preferred over pure fluorine gas because of its relative ease of handling at ambient conditions. ::: DF Nitrogen Trifluoride Brochure

Helium/Neon

Helium/Neon Info: Linde Gases manufactures, analytically certifies, and exports customized laser gas blends for ring laser applications. Our organization is the largest global manufacturer for laser gas products and can provide virtually any gas mixture or component pure gas specified by the customer. If desired, pure neon-20, neon-22, and helium-3 laser gases are available.

Helium 3: Helium-3 gas is a stable and lighter isotope of ordinary helium. Helium-3 gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless. The natural abundance of helium-3 gas is 1.38 x 10-6. Helium-3 is principally shipped and used in gaseous form for detectors, NMR tracers, spectroscopy, low temperature physics, lasers, dilution refrigerators, and R & D laboratories. ::: Helium 3 Brochure

Neon 20: Neon has two stable isotopes, Ne-20, Ne-22. Ne-20 and Ne-22 are the principle isotopes found in Helium-Neon laser applications. One of a number of critical applications is the use of ring lasers found in commercial, space and military guidance, navigation and control systems. ::: Neon 20 Brochure

Neon 22: Neon has two stable isotopes, Ne-20, Ne-22. Ne-20 and Ne-22 are the principle isotopes found in Helium-Neon laser applications. One of a number of critical applications is the use of ring lasers found in commercial, space and military guidance, navigation and control systems. ::: Neon 22 Brochure
