Since the invention of the first working laser in 1960, development
of these devices has progressed at an unprecedented rate, to the
extent that the laser is now a common part of everyday life, from
the semiconductor laser used in CD players and telecommunication
systems to the high power eximer lasers used in manufacturing
processes. This book traces the history of the laser, from the
first theoretical predictions of stimulated emission made in the
1920s, through the experimental development of masers and lasers in
the 50s and 60s, to the advanced applications of lasers in the
present day. Along the way it tells the fascinating and at times
controversial story of the people behind the discoveries. Written
in a style suitable for the general public, it will be of interest
to those working within the laser community, and to anyone with an
interest in the history of science.
