The first patent of the visible laser beam machine was awarded to Gordon Gould in 1977. However, pieces of this invention have been initiated by the Einstein, who was fascinated with light beams. However, Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow have been implementing the visible masers since 1958, without a specific patent.

The laser pointer was invented in 1960 by physicist Theodore Maiman. Maiman created the first working laser at Hughes Research Laboratories in California. The device used a synthetic ruby crystal to produce a concentrated beam of light, which laid the foundation for the development of the laser pointer.
