Abstract: Apparatus and method wherein a photographic plate is doubly exposed by pulsed laser illumination to record successive instants in the history of an object under consideration. The doubly exposed plate is then developed and the photograph or hologram is used to reproduce the object in full three-dimensional detail including subtle changes in the object in the form of interference fringes where the hologram is illuminated with continuous laser illumination.

Abstract: A broadband waveguide mixer suitable for the microwave and millimeter wave regions is described. The mixer is characterized by having a unique dual-guide mixer mount through which extends two parallel and spaced waveguides. The RF wave and the local oscillator wave are respectively impressed on the two waveguides via a hybrid coupler. A pair of crossbars extend through each waveguide. A pair of diodes connected back-to-back are disposed in each waveguide and are connected to the respective crossbars. Each pair of diodes has a polarity opposite to that of the other pair. The output is derived from a coaxial cable connected to the adjacent ends of the two crossbars. The input signals may be applied by a folded hybrid tee or a short slot hybrid coupler to simplify the input structure. The mixer has low noise and broadband performance.
