  • Abstract
    Experimental measurements of the dispersive phase shift at 6328 and 6401 Å due to neon 1s_{5} metastables in a He-Ne discharge are described. These measurements confirm the hypothesis of Arrathoon and Siegman that 1s_{5} metastables are responsible for the observed current dependence of the oscillation frequency of a 6328-Å He-Ne laser.
