The Nobel Tradition at Berkeley Charles H. Townes Physics, 1964 By Russell Schoch Charles Hard Townes was born in Greenville, South Carolina, on July 28, 1915. He attended the Greenville public schools and then Furman University where he completed the B.S. degree in physics and the B.A. in modern languages, graduating summa cum laude in 1935, at the age of 19. Because of its "beautiful logical structure," physics had fascinated him since his first course in the subject during his sophomore year in college. Townes completed work for the M.A. in physics at Duke University in 1936 and earned the Ph.D. in 1939 from the California Institute of Technology. A member of the technical staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1939 to 1947, Townes worked extensively during World War II designing radar systems. From this he turned to applying the microwave technique of wartime research to spectroscopy. At Columbia University, where he was appointed to the faculty in 1948, Townes continued his research in microwave physics. In 1951, he conceived the idea of the maser; in 1958, Townes and his brother-in-law, Dr. A.L. Schawlow, conceived the idea of the laser. Lasers and masers are devices that produce a unique kind of radiation. Lasers produce an intense beam of a very pure single color; masers produce similar radiation, but in the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The names are acronyms derived from Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (MASER) and Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER). Although the maser was conceived first, the laser has proven more useful.

Townes To Deliver Armstrong Memorial Lecture, 'Sociology and Surprise in Science and Technology,' March 26 The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science welcomes Charles H. Townes, professor emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, as guest speaker for the Armstrong Memorial Lecture on March 26, at 4:00 p.m. in Davis Auditorium, CESPR Schapiro Building. Townes was a physics professor at Columbia from 1948-1961, leaving to join the Kennedy administration as a science advisor. He subsequently became a member of other government advisory groups, including NASA and the Jasons. His invention of the maser, a device that amplifies electromagnetic waves, created a means for the sensitive reception of communications and for precise navigation. The maser provided basic components of the laser, for which Townes also received a patent. The difference between a maser and a laser is that the laser utilizes visible light. Apart from being useful tools in the laboratory, both masers and lasers have found many applications in radar, communications, astronomy, navigation, atomic clocks, surgery, and industry. For his advances in the field of quantum electronics, Townes was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize for Physics. Townes' lecture will be a broad discussion of the invention, history and development of the laser as an example of the unpredictability of new discoveries in science and technology, mutual support between these two fields, and the importance of personal interactions in their rapid development.

Dr. Townes has the basic patent for the maser. He and his brother-in-law, Dr. Arthur Schawlow, hold the basic patent for the laser, which was first called the optical maser. Dr. Schawlow of Stanford University, also a Nobel laureate, was co-chairperson for the science panel for the planning of the Townes Center. Exhibits reveal the principles of electromagnetic energy, explain how the laser works, and focus on applications of this revolutionary, versatile technology. Such technology has allowed man to send many thousands of messages at a time through a strand of glass 1/10 the size of a human hair, to create the most perfect recording of music ever made, to measure time and distance with an accuracy never before possible, to slice through a fir tree four feet in diameter, to microscopically spot-weld a computer chip, to pierce a diamond and to repair the delicate tissues of the eye. The laser has saved the sight of millions around the world.

A Century of Nature reprints twenty-one seminal contributions from Nature and adds commentary by leading scientists. This essay accompanies "Stimulated optical radiation in ruby" by T. H. Maiman published in 1960. Nature Booklist See also: C.K. Brain on our African origins A chronology of twentieth-century science The first laser Charles H. Townes from A Century of Nature: Twenty-One Discoveries that Changed Science and the World Laura Garwin and Tim Lincoln, editors Theodore Maiman made the first laser operate on 16 May 1960 at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California, by shining a high-power flash lamp on a ruby rod with silver-coated surfaces. He promptly submitted a short report of the work to the journal Physical Review Letters , but the editors turned it down. Some have thought this was because the Physical Review Physical Review Letters at the time, has said that he turned down this historic paper because Maiman had just published, in June 1960, an article on the excitation of ruby with light, with an examination of the relaxation times between quantum states, and that the new work seemed to be simply more of the same. Pasternack's reaction perhaps reflects the limited understanding at the time of the nature of lasers and their significance. Eager to get his work quickly into publication, Maiman then turned to Nature , usually even more selective than Physical Review Letters , where the paper was better received and published on 6 August.
