		The idea of the laser was first imagined by Einstein but it was only after Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow invented the MASER (and poor Schawlow rarely gets a mention, these days) was it wondered whether the same could be done with light as had been achieved with microwaves.
		There was work first reported in the USSR by Alexander Prokhorov (who died earlier this year) which was very laser-like but there was no such name attached to it.
		Prokhorov was actually born in Australia but his family had communist sympathies and moved to Moscow in 1923 when Alexander was 4 years old; the level of his genius was not seen until he quickly got involved with, and rose to the top in scientific research after he was wounded in WW-II.
