Description: Describes the contributions of Arthur Schawlow in the development of the ruby laser. Demonstrates, through a working model of atoms, how ordinary light is produced and how laser light is generated and controlled, and shows why getting the light under control is so difficult. Presents several sequences showing Schawlow's part in working out the physics behind the first successful laser., Describes the contributions of Arthur Schawlow in the development of the ruby laser.
