PROJECT CAT EYE: A HISTORY OF LIGHT AMPLIFICATION RESEARCH AT THE AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH LABORATORY 1952-1960

Abstract

This historical survey was undertaken as a case study in Air Force research activities as conducted at the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. While it primarily concerns the work on Project 7072, Research on the Quantum Nature of Light, at one Air Force laboratory, the study may also be construed as throwing some light on the problems and achievements of Air Force research in general.
