| 2. | [ID=344128]OSSC LaserFest at Raytheon: 50th Anniversary Celebration of the First Working Laser! |
| 12 May 2010; El Segundo, CA, United States |
| abstract: This meeting of the Optical Society of Southern California will be a celebration of the first working laser invented at HRL Laboratories, formerly Hughes Research Laboratories (1948-1997). The current Raytheon Company formed after the 1997 merger of the Hughes Electronics defense operations (Hughes Aircraft) and Raytheon. After the 1997 merger, Hughes Research Laboratories was legally renamed “HRL Laboratories, LCC†with GM and Raytheon co-owners. In 2007, Raytheon sold its stake in HRL, though it still maintained research and contractual relations. A history of laser development and applications at Hughes/Raytheon will be presented as well as current laser work being accomplished at Raytheon. Presenters include Dan Nieuwsma and Matthew Cox of Raytheon, other presenters are being arranged including a panel of laser pioneers that were on hand when Maiman turned on the first ruby laser! |
