This online exhibit explores the discovery of laser technology. It combindes audio clips with archival photos to provide a context for understanding the impact of lasers. The exhibit explores more than the technology. It includes history of the competition to create the original laser as well as the social impact of this innovation.
Links are provided to information and tutorials that introduce the physics of lasers to audiences with little or no background in the subject.
