    Operable laser invented

    the first operable laser was made by Theodore Maiman

  • Glass fiber demonstration

    glass fibers where used fo light to travel long distances
  • First medical use of the ruby laser

    First medical use of the ruby laser

    In the first medical use of the ruby laser, this ruby laser was used for photocoagulator to destroy a human patient’s retinal tumor.
  • Gallium arsenide laser

    Distrubuted feeback laser systems are invented

  • First semiconductor laser

    the first semiconductor was invented. It controls room temperatures. The continuos wave operation makes transmission of telephone conversations

  • Telephone trail

    A series of telephone companies used fibers for communication

  • Fiber-Optic cable links major cities

    lasers pointed into fibers made a way of light communications and could carry videos

  • First confirmation

    the generation inoptical fibers is confirmed

  • Laser surgery

    laser is used in sugery

  • English channel

    Fiber-optic cables are across English Channel in service

  • Fiber amplifiers

    The optical amplifiers boosted the light signals without turning them into electrical signals then light again

  • Doped

    fibers are introduced with the element ebrium

  • For the first time...

    First translantic fiber cable is laid with transparent glass

    ultrafast lasers were advanced to be more accurate andmeasure high frequencies an a time

  • new controls

    new way to control pulses travel along an optical fibre

  • Intel and rama lasers

    intel created a cip that had rama lasers by using materials that make lasers today

  • Fabricates

    a high powered laser diode emits 454 W of continuos waves infrared of light

  • Present Day

    Most lasers and fiber optics are used in telephone poles, tv's and air travel
