Laser Physics and Its Interconnection with Other Branches of Physics. The science of laser physics is closely interconnected with other branches of physics, as the history of laser development is the result of progress in optics, thermodynamics, and radiophysics. As we know, lasers are based on three fundamental ideas:Abstract
This article explores the historical development of laser technology, with a particular focus on gas lasers. It traces the evolution from early theoretical foundations in quantum electronics to the realization of the first operational lasers. Special attention is given to gas lasers, such as helium-neon and carbon dioxide lasers, which played a crucial role in advancing laser applications due to their high monochromaticity and beam quality. The paper also highlights the contributions of pioneering scientists, key milestones, and the wide-ranging uses of gas lasers in industry, medicine, and scientific research. The significance of gas lasers in shaping modern photonics and optical technologies is emphasized throughout the discussion.
