2019-2020 John Chambers Fellows & Scholars

The Fitzpatrick Institute for Photonics (FIP) was able to award several graduate student
fellowships through the continued support and generosity of John T. Chambers. Each
candidate was nominated by a FIP Professor and judged on the criteria of research
accomplishments, research potential, personal qualities and collaborative potentia.

CELEBRATING THE HISTORY OF THE LASER

The year 2020 marks 60 years since the construction and operation of the first laser. SPIE pays tribute
to the many scientists and engineers who have changed lives with the development of this technology.

In May of 1960, Ted Maiman fired the first laser, a low
powered ruby laser that was dubbed “a solution looking
for a problem.” Today the laser is a critical part of our
everyday lives. Whether it is powering the global internet,
manufacturing our computer chips and smartphones,
scanning our groceries, or enabling the technologies of the
future, it is safe to say that the laser is no longer looking for
a problem.
