Dr. Rem Khokhlov, Univ. of Moscow, predicted at Symposium of Modern Optics in New York that within one year "or a little more" combined Soviet and US. techniques could make it possible to tune laser light to any wavelength from shortest wavelengths of ultraviolet across entire spectrum of visible and infrared light to the radio wavelengths used for radar. He described recent Soviet developments in the field and noted that US. and U.S.S.R. research was proceeding along parallel lines: both used certain crystals to alter wavelengths of light produced by a laser. Dr. Khokhlov believed tunable laser beam could be used in photochemistry to produce new materials and drugs and would have broad applications in basic physics. (Sullivan, NYT, 3/20/67,33)
