    Theodore Maiman, an American physicist and engineer, invented the first laser, the ruby laser in 1960. He was born in 1927 in Los Angeles, California and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado and a PhD in physics from Stanford University. In addition to inventing the laser, Maiman authored several patents on masers, lasers and their applications. His invention of the laser led to countless laser types being developed with uses from surgery to measuring the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

    Who was the inventor?

    Theodore Harold American physicist and engineer. Inventor of the first laser, the
    ruby laser. His invention led to the creation of countless types of lasers, with
    applications ranging from delicate surgery to measuring the distance between the
    Earth and the Moon.
    When and where did she live?
    Theodore Harold (Ted) Maiman was born on July 11, 1927, in Los Angeles,
    California (United States).
    Maiman moved with his second, to Canada, where he held an adjunct professor
    position at the Simon Fraser University School of Engineering Sciences,
    How/where was the inventor educated?
    He attended the University of Colorado and received a Bachelor of Science in
    physical engineering, then went on to graduate from Stanford University where he
    received an M.S. for her work in electrical engineering and a Philosophical Doctoin
    physics.
    Why did the inventor want to make this invention?
    To measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon for the first time, projecting
    the high-powered Theodore Maiman-designed ruby laser onto a reflective disk
    placed on the Moon by astronauts during the Apollo 11 mission. This experiment
    determined the distance a the Moon with an accuracy of about 15 cm.
    Did this inventor invent other things ?
    In addition to his patent for the first working laser, Maiman authored several
    patents on masers, lasers, laser displays, optical scanning, and modulation.
    He also worked on the development of curricula in Biophotonics, Photonics and
    Optical Engineering.
