We report experiments which show that saturation of the inhomogeneously broadened 6328- neon-laser line is strongly affected by cross relaxation which tends to redistribute the excited atoms over the Maxwellian velocity distribution and thus leads to partially homogeneous line saturation. Our results for Ne^20 discharges agree well with theoretical calculations based on a "strong-collision" model. Results for He^3: Ne^20x mixtures show deviations from this model that we attribute to the "weak" cross relaxation caused by He-Ne collisions.
