International Day of Light
Today in 1960, Theodore “Ted” Maiman, demonstrated the first laser (ruby crystal laser) in Malibu. To celebrate that occasion, we had originally planned to make this day – the international day of light – the day our PIV laser system is fully operational.
Unfortunately the best laid plans of mice and man don’t always work out, and there were a few delays with the order of our laser enclosure, which hopefully will be here in June.
So, while we can’t fire up our own laser, please join us in commemorating “Laser Day”.
