We are developing a transportable laser-cooled rubidium (Rb) atomic fountain frequency standard. We have a complete optical package, and have recently shown
A popular scheme for achieving low phase noise across a large range of offset frequencies is to employ an oscillator at an output frequency with low far-from

The feasibility of developing a network of telescopes to monitor the composition of the nighttime atmosphere using stellar spectrophotometry is explored
Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUVL) incorporates 13.5 nm light for patterning wafers and requires in-situ wafer-plane dosimetry that can be tailored to the
Building energy efficiency has become a top priority due to the recent energy price spikes and increasing concern regarding climate change. New buildings are
Because of the complexity in determining the 3D structure of a protein, the use of partial information determined from experimental techniques can greatly
