Laser has come to the world for decades, but the process of laser invention is less well-known by people. In fact, every significant invention is a collection of much wisdom with scientists’ sweat and labor. Laser is no exception.

Laser history of foreign countries

Laser is short for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Einstein first put forward the concept of the stimulated radiation in 1916. And scientists invented the maser, which stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation in 1954. A maser is basically a microwave version of the laser. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation similar to, but shorter than, radio waves. And then in 1858 it was applied to optical frequency range by scientists Schawlow and Townes. So until 1960 Theodore Maiman established the first working laser.

Laser history of China

Our country has been attached great importance on laser technology from the start. Hosted by Wang Zhijiang, the first ruby laser was carried out successfully in China. In 1964, a celebrated physicist, Wang Ganchang put forward the preliminary theory of laser fusion, which opened a new way of China laser works. In 1964, Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics was established. Then many domestic laser enterprises have established and have made the greatest progress in laser industries. For example, in 1999 taking "HGLASER" as the main industry, HUAGONG TECH Co., Ltd was founded. In 2001 the first Double-working-station Perforating System for tipping Paper in the world was invented in HGLASER and this equipment has been awarded many invention patents. In 2003 the first fiber laser marking system in china was developed in HGLASER, and with the continuous version upgrading, it enters the dominant industry of national economy.

Extensive use of laser

Now, laser has become an important equipment of industry, communication, science and electronic entertainment. It marks the development of new technology revolution. All kinds of laser machines have been launched sequentially. Such as laser marking machine, laser cutting machines, laser welding machines, laser micro processing, etc.

The prospect of the laser

Laser has the characteristics of good brightness, monochromaticity, coherence and penetrability. Since the beginning of laser, it's not hard to predict that its potential foreground is promising. Compared with electronics and aviation, although it is in the early stages of laser development, people should be very optimistic about the future of laser development.
