Worlds first working laser, artwork

Worlds first working laser. Computer artwork showing the structure of the first working laser, invented by Theodore Harold Maiman (1927-2007). Maiman built the first working laser in 1960. It was a solid-state laser that used a synthetic ruby crystal to emit a beam of red light. It was first operated at Hughes Research Laboratories in California, USA, on 16th May 1960. Some thirty years later, after a long legal battle, key patents were awarded to Gordon Gould, another US physicist who had proposed key ideas on how to build lasers. Maimans awards for his laser work included the Oliver E. Buckley Prize (1966)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the world's first working laser, a groundbreaking invention by Theodore Harold Maiman in 1960. The computer-generated illustration provides an intricate glimpse into the internal structure of this historical device. Against a pristine white background, the laser's components are meticulously deconstructed, revealing its technological complexity. Maiman's solid-state laser employed a synthetic ruby crystal to emit a powerful beam of red light, marking a significant milestone in scientific advancement. On May 16th, 1960, at Hughes Research Laboratories in California, USA, this revolutionary creation was successfully operated for the very first time. The significance of Maiman's achievement is further highlighted by the subsequent legal battle that ensued over key patents. Gordon Gould, another brilliant American physicist who had proposed crucial ideas on laser construction, eventually received recognition three decades later. Among his numerous accolades for his pioneering work with lasers is the prestigious Oliver E. Buckley Prize awarded to Maiman in 1966. This print not only captures an iconic moment in history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and relentless pursuit of scientific breakthroughs. Displayed without any commercial context or mention thereof, this artwork from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate the immense impact that lasers have had on technology and society throughout the twentieth century and beyond.
