Suggested Reading

Charles H. Townes: The Light Fantastic
Lasers have transformed medicine, computers, telecom, and electronics.

The story of the laser begins with some eye trouble. It was 1937, and Charles H. Townes, a first-year grad student at California Institute of Technology, faced a tough decision: pursue theoretical physics, a field then electrified by Einstein's ideas, or go into experimental physics, where he would build machines to test theories.
