Improved Method for Calibrating a Stokes Polarimeter

Author(s)
Bruno Boulbry, J C. Ramella-Roman, Thomas A. Germer
We present a method for calibrating polarimeters that uses a set of well-characterized reference polarizations and makes no assumptions about the optics

Martine Duff, Douglas Hunter, Arnold Burger, Michael Groza, V Buliga, J Bradley, G Graham, Z Dai, N Teslich, David R. Black, H E. Burdette, A Lanzirotti
Synthetic Cd1-xZnxTe or CZT crystals are highly suitable for the room temperature-based spectroscopy of gamma radiation. Structural/morphological

Smart Cards for Mobile Devices

Author(s)
Wayne Jansen, Serban I. Gavrila, Clement Seveillac
While mobile handheld devices provide productivity benefits, they also pose new risks. User authentication is the best safeguard against the risk of

Foam-based optical absorber for high-power laser radiometry

Author(s)
Krishna Ramadurai, Christopher L. Cromer, Xiaoyu X. Li, Roop Mahajan, John H. Lehman
We report damage threshold measurement results for novel absorbers comprised of either liquid-cooled silicon carbide or vitreous carbon foams. The measurements
