Beam is the story of the three intense years from the birth of the laser idea to its breakthrough demonstration in a California laboratory. The quest was a struggle against physics, established wisdom, and the establishment itself. It is a fascinating tale of a remarkable and powerful invention that has become a symbol of modern technology.
