    This document discusses different types of lasers including ruby lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, and helium-neon lasers. It provides information on the energy level schemes for ruby and Nd:YAG lasers, and notes that flashlamps using Xe and Kr are used to pump Nd:YAG lasers. The document also includes schematic diagrams of early gas lasers and a modern typical laser design, and an energy level diagram of helium-neon lasers.
