Schawlow and Townes wrote a paper in 1958 that proposed a design for a laser, but their design was defective and in fact never led to an operational laser. Maiman's design was entirely different and much simpler (he used a pink ruby, a substance that Schawlow said would "never work"). In the years since then, Townes, who is still alive in his late '90s, has sought to blur the truth and paraded at times as inventor of the laser. In fact, all the major scientific optical and physic organizations in 2010 celebrated LaserFest as the 50th anniversary of Maiman's invention of the laser--and celebrated Maiman himself, who had died three years earlier. <br />Maiman's history leading to his invention of the laser is chronicled in his autobiography, "Laser Odyssey." A fascinating read of how egos and false claims operate in the science community--as they do in most realms of human activity!JRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870005931910480057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960220226504525293.post-62709281503320927412012-02-25T07:32:03.244-08:002012-02-25T07:32:03.244-08:00This is very descriptive and lovely blog and Great...This is very descriptive and lovely blog and Great post.

Never was done.luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532103986629828400noreply@blogger.com
