Robert Hall invented the first semiconducter laser for CD players :)
In 1962 robert hall invented semiconductor laser later used in CD players.

Semiconductor laser
construction and working of semiconductor laser
A semiconductor laser is a type of laser which utilizes a semiconductor as its Photon source, rather than a gas (Argon, CO2, Etc...) laser which uses inert gas as an active medium. Many physicists and engineers consider a semiconductor laser a type of "Solid-State" or "Two-State" LASER.
IBM are invented the first laser keyboard.
No. A diode laser is a semiconductor and Nd:YAG is a crystal.
Semiconductor lasers are made with laser diodes, with added circuitry to measure and regulate the diode current/output.
LASER is Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As far as I have understood, Solid State laser is a macroscopic form of diode laser. Thus a small semiconductor diode is similar to a solid state laser except for the mechanism of lasing and size.
The first commercial laser disc was made by the Philips company
yes
Robert Hall this answer is very true trust me :)
