Two years later the first semiconductor IR laser was demonstrated, followed quickly by a visible light laser diode. Semiconductor laser development eventually led to the first room-temperature ...

This certainly bodes well in the build-up towards the first experiments in late summer ... Figure 1: The LCLS undulator magnets create intense X-ray laser light by wiggling a pulse of electrons ...

This laser was the first device to transmitt logic to light and then back to logic again being able to transmitt data at the speed of light. This allowed the world to connect all the continents by ...
