“…Avalanche diodes of the Impatt type have been vastly improved in efficiency, with efficiencies up to 40% demonstrated [Johnston and Scharietter, 1968], and operation over three octaves (1.5-11 GHz), with efficiencies in the 3 to 20% range [Snapp and Hoeffiinger, 1968]. Important developments in Gunn devices have included the broad electronic tuning of up to 10% with varactor diodes and octave tuning using a YIG sphere [Omori, 1969] Superconducting tunneling at Josephson junctions has been used for millimeter-wave mixing ] and infrared detection , and this technique has promise for subnanosecond computer switching applications [Matisoo, 1966]. A review of these and other device applications of superconducting tunneling has been given by Taylor [1968].…”

The advances of the past 3 years in the science and technology of quantum electronics are well summarized by the technical programs of the May 1968 International Conference on Quantum Electronics, held in Miami [IEEE, 1968a], and of the May 1969 Conference on Laser Engineering and Applications, held in Washington, D. C. [IEEE, 1969a]. The pace of development of new laser devices, new techniques, and new basic quantum electronic phenomena does not seem to be slowing, even though the maser concept has been with us for two decades, and working laser devices for one decade. On the technological side, the development of practical laser applications has obviously reached and passed the take‐off point, with new and different practical applications of lasers emerging at a rapid rate in an almost uncountable number of applications areas.

“…Using ferrimagnetic materials, classical sensors such as fluxgates [43][44][45] and Faradayrotation-based devices [46,47] have achieved sensitivities down to 40 fT/ √ Hz and 10 pT/ √ Hz, respectively. Additionally, ferrimagnetic materials have long found commercial use in tunable microwave filters [48,49] and oscillators [50][51][52]. Despite these well-developed commercial technologies however, magnetometry schemes for ferrimagnetic materials have not previously employed a self-sustaining oscillator architecture to encode magnetic fields in the output waveform frequency rather than amplitude [53].…”
