Abstract :
It is shown theoretically that, by photoelectric mixing of laser beams which are incident obliquely on to a photosurface, transverse electron-beam waves may be excited. It should thus be possible to construct transverse-field microwave phototubes for detecting amplitude-modulated laser signals.
