Through-focus Scanning and Scatterfield Optical Methods for Advanced Overlay Target Analysis

Author(s)
Ravikiran Attota, Michael T. Stocker, Richard M. Silver, Nathanael A. Heckert, Hui Zhou, Richard J. Kasica, Lei Chen, Ronald G. Dixson, Ndubuisi G. Orji, Bryan M. Barnes, Peter Lipscomb
In this paper we present overlay measurement techniques that use small overlay targets for advanced semiconductor applications. We employ two different optical...

VAST 2008 Challenge: Introducing Mini-Challenges

Author(s)
Georges Grinstein, Catherine Plaisant, Sharon J. Laskowski, Theresa O'Connell, Jean Scholtz, Mark Whiting
Visual analytics experts realize that one effective way to push the field forward and to develop metrics for measuring the performance of various visual...

Ratio of the Al+ and Hg+ Optical Clock Frequencies to 17 Decimal Places

Author(s)
Wayne M. Itano, Till P. Rosenband, David Hume, P.O. Schmidt, Chin-Wen Chou, A. Brusch, Luca Lorini, Windell Oskay, Robert E. Drullinger, Sarah Bickman, Tara M. Fortier, Jason Stalnaker, Scott A. Diddams, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury, David J. Wineland, James C. Bergquist
Frequency standards (atomic clocks) based on narrow optical transitions in 27Al + and 199Hg + have been developed over the past several years at NIST. These two...

Ontological Perspectives for Autonomy Performance

Author(s)
Hui-Min Huang, Elena R. Messina, Tsai Hong Hong, Craig I. Schlenoff
Goals must be assigned for any unmanned system’s (UMS) operation before the system’s autonomous performance can be measured. In this paper, we began to...

HLPR Chair A Novel Patient Transfer Device

Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, James S. Albus
In this paper, we briefly describe the design of the Home Lift, Position and Rehabilitation (HLPR) Chair, invented at the National Institute of Standards and...

Characterization of Laminin on Silanized Polydimethylsiloxane

Author(s)
Joy P. Dunkers, Lisa M. Hughes, Hae-Jeong Lee, Marvi Matos, Marcus T. Cicerone
In this work, we characterize a protein surface on a flexible polydimethylsiloxane substrate (PDMS) capable of undergoing strain. We compare the results from...

Ultra-low-noise all-fiber photon pair source

Author(s)
Shellee D. Dyer, Martin J. Stevens, Burm Baek, Sae Woo Nam
We demonstrate an all-fiber photon pair source with the highest coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) reported to date in the fiber optic telecom C-band.

Dynamic 6DOF Metrology for Evaluating a Visual Servoing

Author(s)
Tommy Chang, Tsai H. Hong, Michael O. Shneier, G Holguin, J Park, Roger D. Eastman
In this paper we demonstrate the use of a dynamic, six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) laser tracker to empirically evaluate the performance of a real-time visual...

Measurement science for climate remote sensing

Author(s)
Gerald T. Fraser, Steven W. Brown, Raju V. Datla, Bettye C. Johnson, Keith R. Lykke, Joseph P. Rice
The Earth s climate is very complex and highly variable, making it difficult to measure and model small changes that occur over decadal and longer time scales...

Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry without a beamsplitter

Author(s)
Martin J. Stevens, Eric Dauler, Burm Baek, Richard J. Molnar, Scott A. Hamilton, Karl Berggren, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We demonstrate Hanbury-Brown Twiss interferometry without a beamsplitter, by employing a single-mode optical fiber coupled to a multi-element superconducting...
