  • Abstract
    Because a light beam emitted by a laser has a theoretical capacity of 10,000 times that of the best known radio link, the laser is under intense study at the U. S. Army Signal Research and Development Laboratory, Fort Monmouth, N. J. One such light beam could carry more communications channels than all the nation´s long-distance telephone lines combined.
