A Light-based Testing System for Detecting Chemicals and Materials

NIST Inventors
Fabrizio Giorgetta , Esther Baumann , JD Deschenes and Ian Coddington
This invention introduces a dual comb spectroscopy system that enhances optical measurement accuracy. It uses two optical frequency combs to analyze light absorption and emission with high precision. The system improves data collection speed and reduces errors in spectral analysis. It is designed to

Next-Gen Laser Radar (LIDAR) for High-Accuracy Applications

NIST Inventors
Ian Coddington and William C. Swann
This invention is a new kind of laser radar (LIDAR) that uses two special lasers called femtosecond fiber lasers. One laser sends out a signal, and the other helps detect the signal that bounces back from a target. It combines two types of measurements—time-of-flight and interferometry—to measure
