To obtain some informations on the excitation mechanism of-He-Ne laser, a study is made on the characteristic of infrared (1.1523μ) oscillation excited by means of pulsed HF as done by Brachet et al., Petrash and Knyazev. The wave forms of the exciting pulse, laser output and spontaneous emission (near 6000Å) are observed simultaneously by the use of a dual beam syzi chroscope. The pulse form of laser output depends on factors such as the power of exciting pulse, pulse width, pressures of He and Ne and so on. It is found that the laser pulse rises with about 20μs delay, a peak of laser output occurs in the afterglow period and its height increases when the width of excitation pulse is small. The results of experiments can be explained in the main if we assume that the decay time of He 2
3S metastable state is about 60μs and that of the quench-ing due to Ne 1 s states is about 6μs.
