This paper describes the exploratory use of electrical test structures to enable the calibration of optical overlay instruments of the type used to monitor...
A simple interferometer for matching the wavelengths of tunable lasers is described. Our interferometer uses the angular dispersion of a diffraction grating at...
An apparatus has been designed, built, and extensivley tested for making short-duration autoignition temperature measurements of hydrocarbon fuels under...

The steady-state mass burning flux and the radiative flux profiles to the surroundings were measured for a series of burning silicone fluids and organic fuels...
Finishing performance in turning of hardened powder metallurgy (PM) AISI M50 steel using cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools has been studied. Tool wear and flank...
White layers in hard turned surfaces are identified, characterized and measured as a function of tool flank wear and cutting speed. White layer depth generally...
A broadband lensless, line-focus transducer possessing a large aperture and low f-number can be used to generate leaky surface waves in a specimen. It is a...
The time and polarization resolved ultrasonic technique which we previously developed has been demon-strated to simultaneously provide measurements of the wave...
We have developed a time-and-polarization-resolved acoustic microscopy technique to determine material properties of solids immersed in water. At the heart of...
A means of reproducibly fabricating stable cw lasers in rare-earth-doped Ti:LiNb0 3 has been demonstrated through judicious choice of waveguide orientation. Z...
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) historically has been used mainly as an image-producing device and, in spite of certain obvious and sometimes serious...
