Although the extent of his subject did not admit of more tluin a brief review, this "bird's-eye view", which brings mall)' ioulelv separated aspects into (/ common focus, has an appeal of its 01011.

Channels were established across the oceans, first telegraphically and later by tele- phone, up to the point where radio contact now covers the whole glo~e. In the early years, technical knowledge and literature on the subject were in the nature of things very limited. Because the individual experimenter was, however, in very Juany instances able to achieve valuable results and improvements using only simple and often home-made equipment, many felt themselves drawn towards this sphere and this is undoubtedly one of the causes of the very rapid advances made. Those who were privileged to witness at close quartcrs some part of this inspmug early period may look back on those exciting days with some rcgret, comparing them with conditions as they are today. now that improvement and research into specific problems are in thc hands of a corps of specialists having the most ingenious laboratory equipment at their disposal.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-14550-4 — Applied Nanophotonics Sergey V. Gaponenko , Hilmi Volkan Demir Excerpt More Information 1 Introduction 1.1 FROM PASSIVE VISION TO ACTIVE HARNESSING OF LIGHT Light plays a major role in our perceptual cognition through vision, which occurs in the very narrow spectral range of electromagnetic radiation from approximately 400 nm (violet) to approximately 700 nm (red), whereas the whole wealth of electromagnetic wavelengths extends from picometers (gamma rays) to kilometers (long radiowaves) and beyond. In the early stages of technology, humans strived for enhancement of visual per- ception. Major highlights are: the invention of eye glasses (Salvino D’Armate, Italy, at the end of the thirteenth century); the invention of the microscope c. 1590 by two Dutch spectacle makers, Zacharias Jansen and his father Hans; and the invention of the telescope in 1608 by Hans Lippershey, also a Dutch eyeglass maker ( Figure 1.1 ). These devices only enhanced our passive vision by means of light coming from the sun or another source, e.g., a candle or an oven, and scattered toward our eyes. At that time no attempt had been made to generate light other than through the use of fi re, or to store images in any fashion. Much later, in 1839, Louis Daguerre introduced the fi rst photocamera (daguerreotype) in which a light-sensitive AgI-coated plate was used for image recording. This was the fi rst manmade optical processing device. In 1873–1875, Willoughby Smith in the USA and Ernst Werner Siemens (Siemens 1875 ) in Germany described the remarkable sensitivity of a selenium fi lm conductivity to light illumination, thus creating a basis for photoelectric detectors.
