    The ruby laser was the first laser to be invented in 1960 by Theodore Maiman. It emits a bright red, coherent beam of light using a ruby crystal as the lasing medium. When pumped by a flashlamp, electrons in the ruby crystal are excited to higher energy levels, amplifying the beam as it bounces between mirrors in an optical cavity. Ruby lasers find applications in medicine, engineering, and the military due to their powerful and precise beams.
