TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.
Abstract
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.

The Interaction of a Quantum Mechanical Oscillator with Gravitational Radiation

TL;DR: In this article, the interaction operators between a quantum mechanical system and an external gravitational field were derived from the general-covariant Klein-Gordon and Dirac equation, and the transition probabilities for absorption and induced and spontaneous emission of gravitational radiation were calculated with the help of the time-dependent perturbation method.

Thermal Equilibrium Between Radiation and Matter

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium of electromagnetic radiation and the energy balance of thermal radiation by the matter, between any of its two energy-states, not only yield the law of the statistical thermal equilibrium of matter: the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

Gravitational redshift and the vacuum index of refraction

TL;DR: In this article, a physical process of the gravitational redshift was described, which does not require any information for the emitting atom neither on the local gravitational potential nor on the speed of light.

Laser Technology for Interstitial Hyperthermia

A. C. Steger
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if an atom in its excited state were hit by a photon with the same energy as that emitted on the change from the excited to ground state, then two photons, the original and a second one at the same wavelength, would result.

Surface Displacement Detection Using Coherent Laser and Machine Vision

TL;DR: This document intends to describe and explain mathematically and diagrammatically a new digital image processing algorithm considering different physical variables that can be easily adjusted or replaced with new individual components and different processing systems using only light projection, image capturing, and computational processing with all of them working together homogenously to output different and tangible numbers for further and easier analysis.
