Einstein Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

LASER 의개략도
Coherency An ideal monochromatic source of light has a group of photons with exactly one frequency. An ideal coherent source of light has a group of photons with the same relative phase. Real laser sources are neither perfectly monochromatic nor perfectly coherent. A real laser will have a finite linewidth and finite coherency.

Laser 가늦게발명된이유 Charles H. Townes (1915-) 대부분의물리학자들은전자공학과증폭기에대해서몰랐었고, 전기공학자들은대개양자역학을배우지않았다. 하지만제 2 차세계대전으로인해레이다 (radar) 개발을위해공학자들과자연과학자들이함께일하게되었고, 물리학자들이전자공학에접근할수있게되었다.

Blu-ray (blue-violet laser to to read and write data) What is blu-ray? Blu-ray, or Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25GB, which can be used to record over 2 hours of HDTV or more than 13 hours of standard-definition TV. There are also dual-layer versions of the discs that can hold 50GB. Blu-ray is expected to replace VCRs and DVD recorders over the coming years, with the transition to HDTV.

Nonlinear Optics Nicolaas Bloembergen (1920-) The future always belongs to the younger generation. Since the field continues to attract bright students, it may be expected that unexpected new developments will occur. Generally, history is highly nonlinear, and the course of revolutions and the rise and fall of empires is difficult to predict. The future course of nonlinear optics is also unpredictable.
