Application of High-Frequency Gravitational Waves to Imaging (Paper HFGW-03-120, Gravitational Wave Conference, The MITRE Corporation, McLean, Virginia, USA, May 6-9, 2003) by Robert M.L. Baker, Jr.? Abstract According to some pioneering analyses of Ning Li and David Torr, the speed of a gravitational wave is reduced in a superconductor. This revelation lays the theoretical groundwork for utilizing a superconductor -- especially a High-Temperature SuperConductor (HTSC) -- as a refractive medium. Lenses for High-Frequency Gravitational Wave (HFGW) telescopes can similarly be fabricated for gathering and focusing speculative celestial HFGW sources or relic HFGW from an anisotropic cosmic background. Other lenses can be fabricated for concentrating HFGW in a communications system, for imaging through material like an “X-ray,” etc. Some specific designs of a HFGW Telescope, a HFGW communications optical train for 3 different communications systems (including a list of advantages for a transglobal HFGW communications system), and a “through-Earth” imagining systems (potentially capable of generating 3-dimensional views of subterranean structures such as geological formations, oil deposits, etc.)-- although very speculative -- are examined and evaluated. 1. Introduction According to some pioneering analyses of Ning Li and David Torr [1], the speed of a gravitational wave is reduced in a superconductor. Their result is not controversial. Their article was peer-reviewed (examined by C. A. Lu
