激光器是谁发明的?最先提出这设想的是何人?近20年来,似乎普遍认为是夏洛和汤斯。本文叙述早在1957年,哥伦比亚大学的一名研究生古尔德就已写出了激光概念的论文,并首先使用了“Laser”(激光)这个缩写词。但是由于专利法和政治上的原因,古尔德在激光发明中的声誉和地位一直没有得到承认,被人长期遗忘。原文刊载在1977年美国《Science》杂志上,通过古尔德为争取承认专利权的斗争,反映了激光的发明和发展史,并向读者介绍古尔德这位很可能取得与其他激光先驱同等声誉的发明家。
Who invented the laser? Who was the first to come up with this idea? For almost two decades, Charlotte and Towns seem to be generally considered. This article states that as early as 1957, Gudder, a graduate student at Columbia University, had written a paper on laser concepts and first used the acronym “Laser.” However, due to patent law and political reasons, Gould’s reputation and position in the invention of laser has not been recognized and has long been forgotten. Originally published in the 1977 Science in the United States, Gould struggled to recognize patent rights through Gould’s, reflecting the history of the invention and development of lasers and introducing the reader to Gould, who is likely to achieve the same level as other laser pioneers Reputation inventor.
