James Clerk Maxwell. If it uses electricity then it's based on Maxwell's equations.
Also if it uses light!
Maxwell was an important contributor to the formalization of electromagnetism, yes, but just as much recognition should be given to Faraday for discovering the bloody thing exists in the first place.
He is not the one and only great physicist in history tho.
