BL-2 with the new clean room in the back.

Beamline 2: Absolute Source-Based Radiometry

Absolute source-based radiometry is founded in the traceability of a light source’s output to measurable operational parameters. The absolute irradiance at BL-2

Beamline 3: Extended Range Monochromator for Ultraviolet and Extreme-Ultraviolet Optical Properties and Calibrations

The extended range monochromator is based on a unique design that allows illumination of the gratings in both grazing and normal incidence, thus covering the

Beamline 4: EUV and UV Detector Calibrations

Detector calibrations are a crucial component of the United States industry's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) calibrations needs. Both EUV source manufacturers and

Beamline 7: EUV reflectometry

The NIST/DARPA EUV Reflectometry facility began in the late 1980's to make measurements of the reflectivity of EUV multilayer optics for lithography. Since then

Continuous-wave terahertz spectrometer

The continuous-wave terahertz spectrometer makes use of two near-infrared lasers. The first laser is a fixed-frequency cw ring Ti:Saph laser operating near 840

NIST PTIR Instrumentation and Capabilities

Photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) combines the spatial resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the specificity of absorption spectroscopy

Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectrometer

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy uses positrons to probe material defects/voids/free volume at the sub-nm scale. The general working principle is

Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility SURF III

The Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility SURF III is operated by the Optical Radiation Group as a stable light source for radiometry and research. SURF

The Parallel Beam Diffractometer (PBD) Laboratory

The Parallel Beam Diffractometer laboratory is a highly-controlled space (0.01 degree C stability) containing a set of absolutely calibrated stacked goniometer

The Solid-State NMR Facility

The newly renovated solid-state NMR facility at the NIST Material Measurement Laboratory houses two spectrometers, 300 MHz and 100 MHz, primarily used for

THz chirped-pulse electro-optic dual comb generation

Dual electro-optic frequency comb (DOFC) methods are being developed to enhance detection sensitivity and speed for (bio)molecular sensing in THz region. Phase

UV chirped pulse electro-optic dual comb generation

Dual electro-optic frequency comb (DOFC) methods are being developed to enhance detection sensitivity and speed for gas sensing in ultraviolet (UV) region. The
