The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore H. Maiman at Hughes Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles Hard Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow. A laser differs from other sources of light in that it emits light coherently.
Photons and Light. 1  Not only is light made up of photons, but all electromagnetic energy (i.e. microwaves, radio waves, X-rays) is made up of photons. 2  The original concept of the photon was developed by Albert Einstein. However, it was scientist Gilbert N. Lewis who first used the word photon to describe it. The theory that states that light behaves both like a wave and a particle is called the wave-particle duality theory.
