HISTORY & THE DISCOVERY OFLASER. The maser which is the predecessor of the laser and emitted microwaves was first built in 1953. Some of the first work done on the laser was started in 1957 by Charles Hard Townesand Arthur Leonard’ at Bell labs. Their original work was with infrared frequencies but they later changed their focus to visible light and the optical maser which was how the Laser was first referred to. Working independently of Townes and Schawlow and of each were Gordon Gould a graduated student at Columbia University and Aleksandr Milkhailovich Prokhorov. All parties had the idea of using an open resonator which became an important part of the laser. In 1959 Gould applied to the US patent officer for a patent for the Laser but he was refused and the patent instead went to bell laboratories in 1960. The first working laser was built by Theodor Harold Maiman working at Hughes Research laboratories in MalibuCalifornia. Charles Hard Townes ArthurLeonard
The LASER beam was invented by the physicist MAIMAN in1960 One of the most influential technological achievements of the 20th century Lasers are basically excited light waves
BRIEF INTRODUCTIONABOUT LASER
A laser is a devicethatemits light througha process of optical amplification basedon the stimulatedemission of electromagnetic radiation. The term "laser" originated as an acronym for "light amplificationby stimulated emission of radiation. Alaser differs from other sources of light in that it emits lightcoherently.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LASERLIGHT The combination of these three properties makes laser light focus 100 times better than ordinarylight

Holography Holography is the production of holograms by the use of laser. A hologram is a 3D image recorded in a special photographic plate. The image appears to float in space and to move when the viewer moves.

Conclusion Laser communication in space has long been a goal for NASA because it would enable data transmission rates that are 10 to1,000 times higher than traditional radiowaves. While lasers and radio transmissions both travel at light-speed, lasers can pack more data. It's similar to moving from a dial-up Internet connection tobroadband. Astronomers could use lasers like very accurate rulers to measure the movement of planets with unprecedentedprecision. With microwaves, we're limited to numbers like a meter or two in distance, whereas [lasers have] a potential for getting down intowell beyond the centimeterrange.
