Various techniques for modulation and scanning of coherent light are analyzed for application to the generation of high resolution high contrast displays for simulation. A number of possible techniques are discussed in the main body of the report. The individual discussions include a brief description of the princeiples of operation together with capabilities relative to bandwidth, contrast ratio, deflection angle, alignment, sensitivity, ease of fabrication, and handling. This is based somewhat upon voltage and power requirements over range of operation. (Author)

This is the fourth edition of the "bible" of the neon signmaking industry, first published more than 70 years ago. This book explains in complete detail the equipment and procedures required for luminous tube design, manufacture and installation. The guide includes overviews of all materials used in constructing neon signs, including recent innovations in glass, power supplies and vacuum systems, and a color photo gallery of the types of signs. It then takes the reader step by step through the entire neon signmaking process, from designing the sign and bending the glass tubes through bombarding, filling, testing, aging, assembling and installing the sign. The book concludes with chapters on flashers and animators, radio and television interference, sign maintenance, safety, and a second color photo gallery of specialty neon and lighting displays. Neon Techniques is the most current and most comprehensive book on neon signmaking ever published.

"By bridging histories of technology, media studies, and aesthetics, Electrographic Architecture: New York Color, Las Vegas Light, and America's White Imaginary weaves a critical narrative of the ways in which illuminated light and color play key roles in the formation of America's white imaginary over the course of the last century. The book sheds light on the central question to which media scholars, architects, and historians of technology repeatedly turn: how can we use and speak about light and color in ways that are productive and commemorative, while remaining critical of the systems of white power undergirding them? Electrographic Architecture: New York Color, Las Vegas Light, and America's White Imaginary analyzes the history of electric light technologies in the aesthetic development of Times Square and Las Vegas. The book charts the rise of America's white walls, light empires, and neoclassical buildings in the early twentieth century, through the construction of polychromatic electrographic spectacles by midcentury, and their eclipse by informatically intense, invisible algorithms at the beginning of the new millennium. Drawing from histories of technology, media, and aesthetics, the book shows how the formation of America's electrographic surround runs isomorphic to a new world ethos of power, property, and possession. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and visual analysis, Electrographic Architecture's introduction, six core chapters, and conclusion illustrate how Times Square's polychromatic surround serves as a complex symbol of America's deep-seated dreams of utopic transcendence on the one hand, coupled with fears of loss and obsolescence on the other. In America's twentieth-century imaginary, whiteness aims to become everything but itself: colorful, lit, vibrant, and vital"--

"Neon: From Discovery to Modern Energy Applications" is a comprehensive exploration of Neon’s remarkable journey from its discovery in the late 19th century to its crucial role in today's most advanced technologies. Written by Ron Legarski, a leader in telecommunications and technology infrastructure, this book delves into the fascinating science and transformative applications of Neon across various industries, including semiconductors, nuclear fusion, cryogenics, and energy-efficient lighting. Starting with Neon’s discovery by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers, the book traces how this inert noble gas evolved from being a glowing feature of neon lights into a critical element in high-tech manufacturing and clean energy systems. Through detailed chapters, the book covers Neon’s role in plasma etching for semiconductor production, its use as a cryogenic coolant in superconducting systems, and its emerging applications in nuclear fusion as a plasma cooling agent. Ron Legarski provides a unique perspective, combining scientific insight with his extensive knowledge of technology infrastructure, gained through his work as President and CEO of SolveForce. The book not only explains the chemical and physical properties of Neon but also addresses the economic and environmental challenges facing its production and use. Additionally, it highlights Neon’s future potential in shaping industries such as quantum computing, advanced materials, and renewable energy. Whether you’re a scientist, engineer, or business leader, this book offers an in-depth understanding of how Neon plays an increasingly critical role in modern technologies. With engaging case studies, industry insights, and detailed technical explanations, "Neon: From Discovery to Modern Energy Applications" is the definitive guide to one of the most important elements driving technological innovation and sustainable energy solutions.
