Laserfest

16. May 1960: Theodore Maiman achieves for the first time in history light from a laser.

Thus,2010 is the 50th Anniversary of the first laser.

For this reason, there is an innitiative from APS, OSA, SPIE and IEEE to conmemorate this anniversary: Laserfest.

Events around the world will showcase how the laser works, the history of the laser and its impact on society, and the laser's potential for the future.

I strongly recommend you to visit the website for Laserfest.

Here you can find a lot of information and latest news about lasers, curiosities and of course, info about all the events related to Laserfest that will take place this year.
