Laser - Gordon Gould noted his ideas for a "laser"
Time: Nov, 1957
Place: Columbia University, New York, U.S.
Details: Simultaneously, at Columbia University, graduate student Gordon Gould was working on a doctoral thesis about the energy levels of excited thallium. When Gould and Townes met, they spoke of radiation emission, as a general subject; afterwards, in November 1957, Gould noted his ideas for a "laser", including using an open resonator (later an essential laser-device component).
