Laser - Prokhorov independently proposed using an open resonator, the first published appearance (in the USSR) of this idea

Time: 1958

Place: U.S.S.R.

Details: in 1958, Prokhorov independently proposed using an open resonator, the first published appearance (in the USSR) of this idea. Elsewhere, in the U.S., Schawlow and Townes had agreed to an open-resonator laser design – apparently unaware of Prokhorov's publications and Gould's unpublished laser work.
