The problem is that this list 1) is flat wrong about the krypton green
line, which it says is at 528 nm; there is a hard-to-obtain argon line at
528 but krypton has 2 lines at 520 and 530, and 2) omits all of the UV
lines from argon and krypton ion lasers, all of the violet lines from
krypton (and the violet from diodes), two of the blue lines from krypton,
many of the blue and green argon lines (including 457 nm), the 355 nm line
from He-Cd, and a lot of the diode ranges.  The omissions limit the utility
of the table.
