He-Ne lasers typically emit light at specific frequencies, primarily in the red and infrared spectrum, and do not easily produce different frequencies. They are used in infrared spectroscopy due to their stable output and coherence, which are essential for accurate measurements. The discussion highlights the expectation of conducting research at a postgraduate level before asking questions. A humorous exchange occurs regarding the clarity of responses and the cost associated with obtaining different frequencies from a He-Ne laser. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations and applications of He-Ne lasers in scientific contexts.
