Measures 8"x10-1/4" and has 147 pages.According to the preface by Kennedy, the workshop was held as a result of the advent of optical frequencies which opened the possibility for increased capacity and efficiency in communication systems. Progress, however, had been delayed by two problems -- the time required to develop "an adequate technological base" and the emergence of fundamental problems that do not arise at lower frequencies. NASA and MIT thus invited leaders in the field of optical communications to a two-week workshop to assess what knowledge was needed to determine the structure and performance of near-optimum optical systems, the feasibility of implementing such systems with exisiting devices, and the characteristic required of any needed devices yet to be built.

To mark this occasion 21 leading experts in the theory of relativity collaborated to produce an integrated survey of the current state of research. The result was the knowledge that Einstein's theory not only had vitality, but had influenced other branches of science, including black hole physics, the reconciliation of quantum physics and gravitational theory, quasars, pulsars, and devlopments in radar and space technology. 919 pages.

	KENNEDY, ROBERT K.; KARP, SHERMAN Optical Space Communication; Proceedings of an MIT-NASA Workshop held at Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. August 4-17, 1968 Washington D.C,, NASA, 1969.

Measures 8"x10-1/4" and has 147 pages.According to the preface by Kennedy, the workshop was held as a result of the advent of optical frequencies which opened the possibility for increased capacity and efficiency in communication systems. Progress, however, had been delayed by two problems -- the time required to develop "an adequate technological base" and the emergence of fundamental problems that do not arise at lower frequencies. NASA and MIT thus invited leaders in the field of optical communications to a two-week workshop to assess what knowledge was needed to determine the structure and performance of near-optimum optical systems, the feasibility of implementing such systems with exisiting devices, and the characteristic required of any needed devices yet to be built.
