Abstract :
Three principal methods of light amplification are described. These are (a) Electron optical image tubes. (b) Contiguous layers of photoconductor and electroluminescent phosphor. (c) Direct amplification of light in photoelectro-luminescent film. Details of construction and relative merits of each are presented.
