Carbon nanotube sheets are novel implementation of carbon nanotubes that enable the tailoring of electrical and mechanical properties for applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. Small molecule functionalization and/or post-processing

Mid-infrared molecular spectroscopy in the quantum noise limit

March 31, 2016
Author(s)
David A. Long, Adam J. Fleisher, Qingnan Liu, Joseph T. Hodges
A cavity ring-down spectrometer was used to reach the quantum noise limit in the mid-infrared spectral region. Quantum noise was observed not only in the individual ring-down decay events but also in the corresponding ensemble statistics with a magnitude
