the Public Affairs and Record Home Page Current News News Archive Video Briefs Video Forums ... Home Page Nobel Prize Winner Charles H. Townes To Deliver Armstrong Memorial Lecture, 'Sociology and Surprise in Science and Technology,' March 26 The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science welcomes Charles H. Townes, professor emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, as guest speaker for the Armstrong Memorial Lecture on March 26, at 4:00 p.m. in Davis Auditorium, CESPR Schapiro Building. Townes was a physics professor at Columbia from 1948-1961, leaving to join the Kennedy administration as a science advisor. He subsequently became a member of other government advisory groups, including NASA and the Jasons. His invention of the maser, a device that amplifies electromagnetic waves, created a means for the sensitive reception of communications and for precise navigation. The maser provided basic components of the laser, for which Townes also received a patent. The difference between a maser and a laser is that the laser utilizes visible light. Apart from being useful tools in the laboratory, both masers and lasers have found many applications in radar, communications, astronomy, navigation, atomic clocks, surgery, and industry. For his advances in the field of quantum electronics, Townes was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize for Physics. Townes' lecture will be a broad discussion of the invention, history and development of the laser as an example of the unpredictability of new discoveries in science and technology, mutual support between these two fields, and the importance of personal interactions in their rapid development.

Weblog of Adwaitha Hermitage Occasional Remarks By Friends And Residents Of Adwaitha Hermitage Main March 19, 2005 In Appreciation Of Charles H. Townes Responding to this op-ed by Charles H. Townes: I do not remember seeing Mr. Townes at Riverside during the period he was there but it may have been a different set of 60s years. IBM was close in that area then, in more than one personality. A Watson was on the Board of Union and I believe a relative still is. One of my uncles, John Wesley Graham, was an IBM VP of the era, set up their corporate accounting. WWII Marine enlisted, street fighter extraordinaire, disliked me for wasting time not working (aka, for completing college and graduate school). I liked him, though. Townes is clearly a sweet man, generous to the core. He is right that religion has to do with questions of purpose and meaning, but so does science. The difference between them is related to the sources of human experience in/from which questions of purpose and meaning are posed/received, the media through which answers to those questions are gained and the norms by which answers to those questions are accepted as accurate or inaccurate. Those sources, media and norms are distinct and do not overlap, although some methodological procedures certainly do overlap between them because they are basic to all epistemological activity. Faith certainly is not postulates. This is an old hope of scientists who remained in circles of religion without becoming positivists, but it is a forlorn hope. Faith is given, not manufactured. Man is grasped by faith, he does not develop it and cannot develop it. Whoever talks about faith as a leap of or a reasoning to or anything else human-sourced has not looked at the phenomenon carefully enough or is an ignoramus parroting something they heard. Nothing science has achieved comes even close to how religion starts and cannot. Science has no tool, no mission, no interest and no ability to even approach the vertical phenomenon of life much less postulate regarding it. It is strictly horizontal, which is nothing pejorative, it merely is akin to saying that a whale is going to live in the sea and not in a tree and an ant is going to live in the dirt and not in a fire. Everything has its place and purpose in that place.

74. The First Laser charles H. townes from A Century of Nature TwentyOne Discoveries that Changed Science and the World Laura Garwin and Tim Lincoln, editors http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/284158_townes.html

A Century of Nature reprints twenty-one seminal contributions from Nature and adds commentary by leading scientists. This essay accompanies "Stimulated optical radiation in ruby" by T. H. Maiman published in 1960. Nature Booklist See also: C.K. Brain on our African origins A chronology of twentieth-century science The first laser Charles H. Townes from A Century of Nature: Twenty-One Discoveries that Changed Science and the World Laura Garwin and Tim Lincoln, editors Theodore Maiman made the first laser operate on 16 May 1960 at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California, by shining a high-power flash lamp on a ruby rod with silver-coated surfaces. He promptly submitted a short report of the work to the journal Physical Review Letters , but the editors turned it down. Some have thought this was because the Physical Review Physical Review Letters at the time, has said that he turned down this historic paper because Maiman had just published, in June 1960, an article on the excitation of ruby with light, with an examination of the relaxation times between quantum states, and that the new work seemed to be simply more of the same. Pasternack's reaction perhaps reflects the limited understanding at the time of the nature of lasers and their significance. Eager to get his work quickly into publication, Maiman then turned to Nature , usually even more selective than Physical Review Letters , where the paper was better received and published on 6 August.

Dr. Townes has the basic patent for the maser. He and his brother-in-law, Dr. Arthur Schawlow, hold the basic patent for the laser, which was first called the optical maser. Dr. Schawlow of Stanford University, also a Nobel laureate, was co-chairperson for the science panel for the planning of the Townes Center. Exhibits reveal the principles of electromagnetic energy, explain how the laser works, and focus on applications of this revolutionary, versatile technology. Such technology has allowed man to send many thousands of messages at a time through a strand of glass 1/10 the size of a human hair, to create the most perfect recording of music ever made, to measure time and distance with an accuracy never before possible, to slice through a fir tree four feet in diameter, to microscopically spot-weld a computer chip, to pierce a diamond and to repair the delicate tissues of the eye. The laser has saved the sight of millions around the world.

Townes told a packed Science Center lecture hall Monday (June 13) that science and religion are parallel, rather than antagonistic, disciplines and that he sees them ultimately coming together. "I look at science and religion as quite parallel, much more similar than most people think and that in the long run, they must converge," Townes said in his 40-minute talk. Townes' speech, "Logic and Mystery in Science and Religion," coincided with a weeklong conference at Harvard on recent advances by a new astronomical facility, the Submillimeter Array on the slopes of Hawaii's highest volcano, Mauna Kea.

80. Brief History Of Laser charles H townes, The inventor of the MASER (Microwave Amplification of Stimulated charles H townes, First detailed paper describing Optical MASER . http://www.lasers.org.uk/laser_welding/briefhistory.htm

A Brief History of Lasers: The principle of the laser was first known in 1917, when physicist Albert Einstein described the theory of stimulated emission. However, it was not until the late 1940s that engineers began to utilize this principle for practical purposes. At the onset of the 1950's several different engineers were working towards the harnessing of energy using the principal of stimulated emission. At the University of Columbia was Charles Townes, at the University of Maryland was Joseph Weber and at the Lebedev Laboratories in Moscow were Alexander Prokhorov and Nikolai G Basov. At this stage the engineers were working towards the creation of what was termed a MASER (Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation), a device that amplified microwaves as opposed to light and soon found use in microwave communication systems. Townes and the other engineers believed it to be possible create an optical maser, a device for creating powerful beams of light using higher frequency energy to stimulate what was to become termed the lasing medium. Despite the pioneering work of Townes and Prokhorov it was left to Theodore Maiman in 1960 it invent the first Laser using a lasing medium of ruby that was stimulated using high energy flashes of intense light (see example) Both Townes and Prokhorov were later awarded the Nobel Science Prize in 1964 for their endeavours.
