  19.    The quality of colour of a Sr laser has to be seen to be truly appreciated!
  20.    Unfortunately, our He-Sr laser, being recombinant in operation, will only work as
  21.    a pulsed source (5-10kHz). For projection TV use, this forms a slight problem -
  22.    not fast enough to display 1 pixel per pulse, and pulse durations too short to
  23.    display sections of a picture frame.
  24.  
  25. Can't you use a couple of these lasers, and run the output through a
  26. few kilometers of fiber for pulse compression?  I seem to recall a
  27. buddy of mine doing something like this back when I was in
  28. undergraduate school...
