PROPOSAL FOR REVIEW OF
STUDY PHASE OF 4x ENLARGING LASER. PRINTER
STAT
STAT
The 4x enlarging printer using a. laser light source which is
under development by for the U. S. Government Is STAT
expected to achieve a significant advance in reproduction. It is
anticipated that the coherent laser light source will permit a
high order of contrast rendition up to 200 lines/mm. It is hoped
this equipment will achieve a breakthrough and as such will be the
forerunner of a new generation of printers.
The importance of this development to exploitation sugges
that it be given extra attention and that a special evaluation
group be set up to review the results at the end of the twelve-week
study phase.
For the proper review there are two essential
Conflict of interest must be avoided. This
precludes review by competitors or by per-
sonnel drawn from the staff of competitors.
The use of unaffiliated consultants is a
preferable method.
b. Outstanding technical competence in the fields
related to the new concepts is highly desirable.
It is proposed that the review group consist of consultants in
the following fields.-
Physics--a man with competence in concepts of Fourier
transforms and contrast transfer functions
optics--a man with competence in optical theory and
design.
Engineering--4 man with competence in photo equipment
development.
Experimental
Psychologist---;a man with competence in the field of
exploitation and visual display problem
The review will result In series of recommendations concerning
the work to date, the balance of the development program, and the
