Discover Light with LASER-TEC
Light is so fundamental to human life that we take it for granted.
Natural light that comes from the sun enables photosynthesis in plants (which
in turn create our breathable atmosphere) and plays an essential part in many
other natural processes that support the existence of life as we know on earth.
It was not too long ago when, in 1890, Thomas Edison patented the first
artificial light source that enabled us to conquer the night. Only fifty-five
years ago, in 1960, Charles Townes created the first working laser. The
inventions and applications based on light science and technology have been so
many, so important, and so beneficial to all endeavors of human existence, 2015
has been proclaimed the International Year of Light.
