Your HiLASE team
On May 16, 2020, it will be exactly 60 years since Theodore H. Maiman introduced the world’s first laser. And since this anniversary is particularly important to our laser center, we want to share with you our passion for lasers. You can look forward to a number of events throughout the year, May 16, 2020 being the most interesting of these events: there will be tours, open-air concerts or a laser run.
