Theodore Harold Maiman (July 11, 1927 – May 5, 2007) was an American engineer and physicist who is widely credited with the invention of the laser. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Maiman's laser led to the subsequent development of many other types of lasers. [8][9] …

Theodore H. Maiman (born July 11, 1927, Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.—died May 5, 2007, Vancouver, B.C., Can.) was an American physicist, who constructed the first laser, a device that produces monochromatic coherent light, or light in which the rays are all of …

Theodore Maiman built the world's first operable laser, which utilized a small synthetic rod with silvered ends to produce a narrow beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of approximately 694 nanometers.

May 11, 2007 · Theodore H. Maiman, a physicist who on May 16, 1960, demonstrated the world’s first laser, a device small enough to fit in his hand, died on May 5 in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was 79. The...

Theodore “Ted” Maiman (1927-2007) holds U.S. Patent 3,353,115 for the world’s first working laser. His creation, using a synthetic ruby and flashlamps, was first operated on May 16, 1960, at Hughes Research Laboratories.

Theodore H. Maiman invented the Laser on May 16, 1960, at the Hughes Research Laboratory in Malibu, California. Theodore H. Maiman built the first operational laser. Maiman’s novel method of activating a ruby crystal with a high-power flash lamp produced a narrow, intense red light.
