Abstract
The history of the laser has been written by scientists involved and historians several times. Great efforts to trace the lines of development were particularly made in 1985, when the science community celebrated the 25th anniversary of the “birth” of the laser by Theodore Maiman. The most important activity had been undertaken in the United States of America with the Laser History Project of the years 1982 to 1988.
