The authors are indebted to Dr. J.J. Murray of SLAC for suggesting the extended use of the laser beam for this work and for his guidance throughout the development tests required. Invaluable assistance was also provided by Drs. K. Braune and R. Erickson; R.A; Gear-hart; and many other members of the technical staff at SLAC. The support of colleagues from the Goddard Space Flight Center; the Max Planck Institute for Ex-traterrestrische Physik at Munich; the Grumman Aerospace Corporation and of the staff of the Hansen Laboratories is also gratefully acknowledged;
