This chart shows colors of the visible light spectrum, and the
associated wavelengths in nanometers. Ranges are traditionally given as: ultraviolet
light, 100-400 nm; visible light, 400-750 nm; and infrared, 750 nm-1 mm.
This chart shows common types of lasers, and the major wavelengths associated with them.
(Additional charts showing ion lasers' major wavelengths are on
this page.)
LEXEL™ model numbers are given for applicable Gas-Ion and deep UV Gas-Ion Second
Harmonic Generation (SHG) lasers. For more information, click on the LEXEL™ model number
link. Note that additional custom laser wavelengths may be possible;
