Gordon Gould developed the concept of the laser in the 1950s while working in a laboratory, where he recognized the potential for producing a focused beam of light at a specific wavelength. He was motivated by his interest in creating a more powerful and precise tool for various applications, such as cutting and drilling materials, communication, and scientific research.
He was the inventor of the laser. This isn't known to most people.
Albert Einstein did not invent the laser, however, he established the theoretical foundations for the laser in 1917. There were actually many scientists who were involved in inventing the laser: Gordon Gould, Charles Townes, Arthur Schawlow, Theodore Maiman, Nikolay Basov, and Aleksandr Prokhorov to name a few.
Yes, Gordon Gould should have been given the patent for the laser because he first conceptualized the idea and filed for patents in a timely manner. However, legal battles and bureaucratic delays prevented him from receiving the patent until later.
Gordon Gould was born on July 17, 1920.

The laser was invented by Theodore Maiman1957The name LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In 1917, Albert Einstein first theorized about the process which makes lasers possible called "Stimulated Emission." In 1958, Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow theorized and published papers about a visible laser, an invention that would use infrared and/or visible spectrum light, however, they did not proceed with any research at the time. Gordon Gould was the first person to use the word "laser". There is good reason to believe that Gordon Gould made the first light laser.Gordon Gould was inspired to build his optical laser starting in 1958. He failed to file for a patent his invention until 1959. As a result, Gordon Gould's patent was refused and his technology was exploited by others. It took until 1977 for Gordon Gould to finally win his patent war and receive his first patent for the laser.1960 and they were invented by Theodore Maiman :D xx hope this helps people :)
Gordon Gould died on September 16, 2005 at the age of 85.
