Microwave optoelectronic oscillator with optical gain

Author(s)
Craig Nelson, Archita Hati, David A. Howe, W Zhou
Optoelectronic oscillators (OEO) are unique compared to radio-frequency (RF) oscillators in that they do not fundamentally require a RF gain element in order to

Single Molecule Mass Spectrometry in Solution Using a Solitary Nanopore

Author(s)
Joseph W. Robertson, Claudio G. Rodrigues, Oleg V. Krasilnikov, Vincent M. Stanford, Kenneth A. Rubinson, John J. Kasianowicz
A solitary protein nanometer-scale pore provides the basis for single molecule mass spectrometry in solution. Individual poly(ethylene glycol) molecules of

Development of Surgical Lighting for Enhanced Color Contrast

Author(s)
Maritoni A. Litorja, Steven W. Brown, Maria E. Nadal, David W. Allen, Alexander Gorbach
The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Institutes of Health have started a collaborative study on the development of lighting that

Residual stability of a fiber-based frequency comb

Author(s)
William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Luca Lorini, Jason Stalnaker, J. C. Bergquist, Scott Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury
Abstract: We present measurements of the residual frequency stability across a fiber frequency comb by comparison through a Ti:sapphire frequency comb. We find

Fiber-laser frequency combs

Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, William C. Swann
We discuss the contributions to the linewidth and frequency noise of the individual modes of a mode-locked fiber laser. Much of this noise can be suppressed

Multi-octave optical coherence spanning hundreds of meters

Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, Luca Lorini, William C. Swann, J. C. Bergquist, Y. Le Coq, C. W. Oates, Qudsia Quraishi, Jason Stalnaker, Scott Diddams, Nathan R. Newbury
We demonstrate coherent transfer of optical signals with radian level noise (in a 3.5 MHz bandwidth) through a series of laser systems spanning from 657 nm to
