Abstract
THE discovery of Laser1 in 1960 is considered to be one of the most important scientific achievements of recent years. Laser is a unique device for generating and amplifying a beam of light (or any other electro-magnetic radiation) having one particular wavelength, the waves of which are all in step (coherent). The name LASER is a shortened form to denote Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although the physical principles upon which a laser is based have been known since the 1930s, the conception that such a device could be made possible did not occur until the development of masers in the early 1950. The famous paper by Schawlow and Townes2 in 1958 suggested the possibility of such a device to generate intense coherent light beam. The suggestion of Townes proved to be of great scientific value which resulted in the award of the Nobel Prize to him in Physics in 1964.
