Abstract
Micro-electronic components became feasible with the invention of the semi-conductor devices which superceded the electronic valve in the late 1950s. At the same time the first coherent source of optical radiation was invented. It is remarkable that up till that time the optical physicist had worked with incoherent radiant sources which would be regarded by the electronic community as a noise generator. Today the optical and electronic communities work together thanks to the laser and optical amplifier.
