The First Lasers

In light of the 50th anniversary of the laser (pun intended), the AIP has a wonderful historical account of the birth and development of the laser. This is an opportunity not only to read about how the laser came to be what it is today, but also be aware of all the important figures in its history, and not just those who got the Nobel prizes for it.
