Rod Laser – The first laser was a rod laser

Abstract

Laser technology is relatively young. The first laser was built in 1960 by Maiman at AT&T Labs in the USA. It was a rod-shaped ruby laser, this arrangement having been chosen for its favourable symmetry (Fig. 1). Starting from this device, the technology of solid-state lasers developed rapidly. The predominantly used geometric shape for the laser medium was the rod. Many different solidstate materials have been tested.
