Absolutely amazing work, and now you can carry a laser in your pocket!

 

Is there some "Heroes of Engineering" obituary publication that you subscribe to bertus?

 

I stated graduate school in photochemistry in 1966. If only we had known...

A great loss.

John

 

 

My cats are in mourning. Nothing they love more than the laser pointer.
