  1. History of the Institute In the beginning of the 60’s academician M.L.Ter-Mikaelyan unified efforts of various laboratories of the Armenian Academy of Sciences and of the Yerevan State University towards developments in the laser physics. Due to this, the first in Armenia ruby laser was operated in 1962 based on a ruby crystal produced in Armenia. In 1968, the Institute for Physical Research was founded on the base of these and other laboratories with a branch at the Kirovakan Chemical Plant. Beginning from 1972, along with fundamental studies, development of technology of materials for quantum electronics was started in the favor of several ministries of the former Soviet Union. In 80’s, developments on garnets, niobates, molybdates, iodates and else materials were transferred to many societies of the former Soviet Union. From 1976 to 1991 the Institute had a production plant for many materials for quantum electronics. From 1988, activity on high temperature superconductivity was initiated. In different years the Institute was attended by Nobel prize winners C.Townes, N.Basov,A.Prochorov and other prominent scientists. The Institute organizes annual conference on Laser Physics attended by scientists from many countries.
