Uncertainty Budget for the NIST Hybrid Humidity Generator

Author(s)
Christopher W. Meyer, W Wyatt Miller, Dean C. Ripple, Gregory E. Scace
We provide here a detailed uncertainty budget for the new Hybrid Humidity Generator (HHG) that has been constructed at the National Institute of Standards and...

Controlling Atomic Interactions with Light

Author(s)
Ross A. Williams, Lindsay J. LeBlanc, Karina K. Jimenez Garcia, Matthew C. Beeler, Abigail R. Perry, William D. Phillips, Ian B. Spielman
For the majority of the 20th century atomic physicists used light to probe and understand atoms. Today, scientists use light to manipulate particles with...

Phase-Noise Measurement System for the Terahertz-Band

Author(s)
Jason A. DeSalvo, Archita Hati, Craig W. Nelson, David A. Howe
We present initial phase noise measurements in support of terahertz electronics, in the frequency range generally regarded as 0.1 to 10 THz. Using digital phase...

High Bandwidth Optical Magnetometer

Author(s)
Ricardo Jimenez Martinez, William C. Griffith, Svenja A. Knappe, John E. Kitching, Mark Prouty
We demonstrate a scalar 87Rb optical magnetometer that retains magnetic eld sensitivities below 10 pT/√Hz over 3dB bandwidths of 10 kHz in an ambient eld Bo =...
