  • Abstract
    A brief description is presented of a solid-state device, a ruby maser, that utilizes the principles of microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (maser). Experiments under way point to a new medium of communication in which a beam of light is used to transmit vast amounts of information from one point to another.
