Theodore Maiman developed the first working laser at Hughes Research Lab in 1960, and his paper describing the operation of the first laser
was published in Nature three months later. Since then, more than 55,000 patents involving the laser have been granted in the United States.
Today, lasers are used in countless areas of modern life. Some examples include telecommunications, medical diagnostics and surgery, manufacturing,
environmental sensing, basic scientific research, space exploration and entertainment. In the past, the IEEE has recognized the significance
of the laser as being one of the key technical achievements of the 20th century.
What features or characteristics set this work apart from similar achievements?
Please attach a letter in English, or with English translation, from the site owner giving permission to place IEEE milestone plaque on the property.
The letter is necessary in order to process your nomination form. Click the Attachments tab to upload your letter.
