Research Investigation Directed Toward Extending the Useful Range of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Appendix.
Abstract
The usual semiclassical theory of light detection has been demonstrated to be valid only in the absence of feedback from detector to source. A revised theory has been developed that is valid even in the presence of such feedback. Research has begun on the possibility of using various heterostructures (including quantum-well devices) that might serve as solid-state versions of the space-charge-limited Franck-Hertz experiment. This report is a compilation of many papers related to the following fields: photon-number-squeezed light, theory of light detection, excess noise factor, feedback, sub-Poisson light, superlattice avalanche photodiodes, ions, low energy ion beam, gallium arsenide MESFET, Deuterium, Infrared Absorption, Pyruvic Acid, Photodissociation, Femtosecond, Binaphthyl, Adsorption, Ultrafast Modulation Spectroscopy, photoionic emission, germanium nitride, Diode Laser, Energy Transfer, Isomerization.
