Structurally, the Не-Ne/127/J2 laser is disposed in the outer case
The base of the Не-Ne/127/J2 laser is an invar resonator with external spherical mirrors. There is a rigidly fixed active element, which is a gas-discharge tube with a cold cathode and an absorbing cell filled with a molecular iodine isotope 127/J2, inside the resonator, strictly along its axis.
