Opioid Detection and Identification

Ongoing
NIST, the nation’s reference lab for chemical measurements, helps crime labs and medical first responders rapidly detect and identify opioids, particularly new

Optical grating scatterometry

Ongoing
This program aims to develop standards, methods, and modeling for assessing the periodic structures using optical reflectance and transmittance measurements.

Yb Optical Lattice Clock

Ongoing
The very best atomic clocks today are known as optical clocks, because their timebase resides at a very high frequency (~10 15 Hz), corresponding to the optical

Optical Polarization Metrology

Ongoing
This program aims to improve the metrology of optical polarization by developing new measurement methods and theoretical understanding of polarization phenomena

Optical scattering from surfaces

Ongoing
We study how material properties, surface topography, and contaminants affect the distribution of light scattered from surfaces. Our aim is to support industry
