Today (July 11, 1927) is the birthday of Nobel Prize-nominated American physicist Theodore Harold Maiman, who invented the first laser.

 

Theodore Harold "Ted" Maiman was born on July 11, 1927, in Los Angeles. During his school days, he spearheaded the study of electrical equipment and radio receivers and began a B.Sc. (B.S.) in Engineering Physics at the University of Colorado. After graduating in 1949, he attended Stanford University for a master's degree in electronics in 1951 and a doctoral dissertation in 1955. His doctoral dissertation in recipe physics was conducted under the guidance of Willis Lamb. In his doctoral dissertation, he studied the fine structure of the electrons of helium atoms induced by microwave-light measurements.

 

Dr. Ralph L. Maimann's Sirolik instrument. Atchinson (Dr. Ralph L. Hutcheson) developed the Redstone or copper crystal, which was successfully launched on May 16, 1960. He then worked at the Hughes Laboratory in Malibu, California, USA. There have been several lawsuits by Gordon Gould over who invented the chandelier, with Gordon Gould claiming that he was the first to create the design, giving priority to his patents. But there is no question that Maimon's patent and the benefit of his research were the first to make the uniform.

 

After Hughes left the lab, he joined Quantron, working on laser development. In 1962 he became president of Korad Corporation, a newly formed subsidiary of Union Carbide. Then in 1968, he started a company called Maiman Associates. He was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize for his laser invention but did not receive it. He was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences (Engineering) of the United States.

 

In 1966 Oliver e. He received the Oliver E. Buckley Prize in 1983/84 and the Japan Prize in 1987. Many universities have awarded him an honorary doctorate. The last of these was the honorary doctorate from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada in 2002. Theodore Harold Mayman, the inventor of the laser, passed away on May 5, 2007, at the age of 79 in Vancouver, Canada due to systemic mastocytosis.
