Richard Gordon Gould (July 17, 1920 – September 16, 2005) was an American physicist who is sometimes credited with the invention of the laser and the optical amplifier. (Credit for the invention of the laser is disputed, since Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow were the first to publish the theory and Theodore Maiman was the first to build a ...
The principle of optical amplification was invented by Gordon Gould on November 13, 1957. [2] He filed US Patent US80453959A on April 6, 1959, titled "Light Amplifiers Employing Collisions to Produce Population Inversions" [3] (subsequently amended as a continuation in part and finally issued as U.S. patent 4,746,201A on May 4, 1988).

American physicist Gordon Gould, then a graduate student at Columbia University, had a page of his notebook notarized at a candy store. The page contained notes headed, "Some rough calculations on the feasibility of a LASER : Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation".
Gould and Townes met and talked about radiation emission as a general subject, but not the specific work they were pursuing. Later, in November 1957, Gould noted his ideas for how a "laser" could be made, including using an open resonator (an essential laser-device component). His notebook included a diagram of an optically pumped laser.
The university was founded in the late 1950s as Alaska Methodist University by Peter Gordon Gould, an Aleut from Unga, Alaska. [4] Gould became the first Alaska Native minister in the United Methodist Church later in life, and used his position to campaign for the development of a Methodist University in Alaska. [5]

[10] [18] Among other developments while he was at Korad, Maiman supported Hellwarth in his Q-switch patent litigation against Gould. [15] After Korad was fully acquired by Union Carbide in 1968, [16] when they exercised the option written into the venture capital contract, [15] Maiman left to found Maiman Associates, a venture capital firm of ...
