The He-Ne laser with iodine cell is a source of а frequency stabilized 127J2 continuous transition of coherent monochromatic radiation in the red light.

The He-Ne laser with iodine cell is used for applications as a source of coherent radiation to ensure the uniformity of measures in linear interferometric measurements.

The laser is a climatic version of “UHL” category 4.2 (temperate and cold climate) as per GOST Standard 15.150-69.

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.
