1.1 Laser Diodes: A Very Brief History
(yes, even before the internet) and the history of the semiconductor laser diode is strongly tied in with that of fiber optics and optical telecommunications (Hecht 1999).

The Diode Laser
In the space of only a month, history was made four decades ago when four groups of researchers independently developed and demonstrated their own versions of the injection laser.
