This book traces the history of the laser, from the first theoretical predictions of stimulated emission made in the 1920s, through the experimental development of masers and lasers in the 50s and 60s, to the advanced applications of lasers in the present day. Along the way it tells the story of the people behind the discoveries. Written in a style suitable for the general public, it should be of interest to those working within the laser community, and to anyone with an interest in the history of science.
