Prof. Charles Townes Engineer, Scientist, and Co-Inventor of the Laser. Nobel Peace Prize Winner The Patent Dispute Regarding the Invention of the Laser by Todd Fronek A barcode scanner is one everyday use of laser technology. The laser has become a major techno logical factor in today's fast paced world. CD-ROM, laser printers and even eye surgery all involve using a laser. In 1960, Theodore Maiman produced the first working laser [Bromberg, 1988]. The discovery marked the zenith of many years of research, and also the beginning of numerous technological breakthroughs. Because many parties in addition to Maiman contributed substantial research to the invention of the laser, a dispute arose over who should receive the patent for the invention of the laser. LASER is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." A laser produces a thin beam of light that is monochromatic and coherent, meaning that the beam is one color and each wave of lighttravels in step. The laser process begins when energy enters and begins to strike the atoms in a system. The stimulated atoms give off energy in the form of light. This emitted light reflects back and forth between the ends of a cylinder, one end being a fully reflecting mirror and one end being a partially reflecting mirror. The light continues to excite more and more atoms, and finally the atoms contain enough energy to burst through the partially reflecting mirror in a beam of light. This beam of light has a variety of applications. For instance, it is able, in some cases, to drill tiny holes in diamonds within minutes (conventional methods take days to produce the same holes).
