The laser is now an essential work tool for many researchers, but also a common part of everyday life. We meet it in hospitals, dental surgeries or supermarkets. It is significant for all of us and therefore we wanted to celebrate this anniversary properly. Unfortunately, it went awry due to pandemic measures against the spread of coronavirus and we had to cancel all public events.

Let’s remind everyone about today’s laser anniversary, and the International Day of Light as well in this virtually way at least. We prepared for you some videos presenting not only the history of the laser, but also its origin and use in practice.
