...telephone. Standing on the lab roof, Physicist M. John Hudson pointed a snooperscope toward the mountain and immediately picked out the bright spot of light that marked the glowing diode. By telephone he told the men on the mountain to begin talking into a microphone and modulating the infrared beam. The response came clearly across the cold night air and was picked up by the lab-top receiver. "I'm starting now." Those words had covered 34 miles, passing over an infra-red beam that carried only .005 watt of energy. It would take 1,500 such diode beams...
...arsenide diode developed by Lincoln Lab Engineer Theodore M. Quist. A less-than-gnat-sized electronic device that generates pure infra-red light when a small direct current is passed through it, the diode turned out to have an extraordinary property: the intensity of the normally invisible infra-red beam could be easily controlled by varying the strength of the current that generates it. Keyes speculated that if his little light beam was visible at any distance, it could be modulated to carry the human voice, or even the more complex frequencies of a television program...
Potential Unlimited. For hours the scientists on Mount Wachusett declaimed joyfully over the remarkable beam. Next they turned on a TV receiver, tuned in a Boston channel and retransmitted the picture to the laboratory by infra-red rays. The results were more than satisfactory...
