Optical SETI

All You Really Need is a Light Bucket


Thoughts on SETI

Optical SETI requires only that we gather a lot of light onto a photodetector. We are NOT trying to produce a sharp image.Mirrors and lenses of less than the usual quality would work perfectly well in this application. In this section, therefore, I wish to explore the possibility of building "Light Buckets" in ways that would never work at all for the usual astronomical applications but will serve well for Optical SETI.
