IMPORTANT PAPERS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LASER, including Schawlow and Towne's demonstration of the theoretical possibility of constructing a laser, Maiman's first demonstration of population inversion in ruby, followed by his first announcement of a working laser, and the first announcement of a continuous laser. 'Soon after Maiman's report Javan, Bennett Jr. and Herriott were able to demonstrate in a He-Ne gas discharge the first continuously operating laser. Within a few years lasers were developed in many other media, notably semiconductors', Gedeon, p.475.
