Bilateral comparison of power measurement standards for KrF lasers between PTB and NIST

May 2, 2010
Author(s)
Marla L. Dowell, Christopher L. Cromer, Darryl A. Keenan, Stefan Kuck, Friedhelm Brandt
We report results of the first bilateral laser power comparison for 248-nm KrF excimer lasers accomplished by the National Metrology Institutes of Germany (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB) and of the United States of America (National Institute

Waveform metrology and a quantitative study of regularized deconvolution

May 1, 2010
Author(s)
Paul D. Hale, Andrew M. Dienstfrey
We present methodology and preliminary results of a Monte-Carlo simulation to perform a quantified analysis of regularized deconvolution in the context of full waveform metrology. We analyze the behavior of different regularized inversion methods with

Tensile measurement of single crystal gallium nitride nanowires on MEMS test stages

April 18, 2010
Author(s)
J. J. Brown, A. I. Baca, Kristine A. Bertness, D. A. Dikin, R. S. Ruoff, Victor M. Bright
This paper reports the first direct tensile tests on nearly defect free, n-type (Si-doped) gallium nitride single crystal nanowires. Here, for the first time, nanowires have been integrated with actuated, active microelectromechanical (MEMS) structures

Steady-state and transient photoconductivity in c-axis GaN nanowires grown by nitrogen-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy

February 12, 2010
Author(s)
Norman A. Sanford, Paul T. Blanchard, Kristine A. Bertness, Lorelle Mansfield, John B. Schlager, Aric W. Sanders, Alexana Roshko, Beau Burton, Steven George
Analysis of steady-state and transient photoconductivity measurements at room temperature performed on c-axis oriented GaN nanowires yielded estimates of free carrier concentration, drift, mobility, surface band bending, and surface capture coefficient for

Relative Photon-to-Carrier Efficiencies of Alternating Nanolayers of Zinc Phthalocyanine and C60 Multilayer Films Assessed by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy

Okan Esenturk, Joseph S. Melinger, Paul A. Lane, Edwin J. Heilweil
Alternating multi-layer and 1:1 blended films of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc)and buckminsterfullerene (C60) were investigated as model active layers for solar cells by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy (TRTS). Relative photon-to-carrier efficiencies 2

Traceable waveform calibration with a covariance-based uncertainty analysis

October 1, 2009
Author(s)
Paul D. Hale, Dylan F. Williams, Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Arkadiusz C. Lewandowski, Tracy S. Clement, Darryl A. Keenan
We describe a method for calibrating the voltage that a step-like pulse generator produces at a load at every time point in themeasured waveform. The calibration includes an equivalent-circuit model of the generator that can be used to determine how the

Optical performance monitoring of PSK Data Channels using artificial neural networks trained with parameters derived from delay-tap asynchronous diagrams via balanced detection

September 20, 2009
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Jargon, Xiaoxia Wu, Zhensheng Jia, Loukas Paraschis, Ronald Skoog, Alan Willner
We demonstrate a technique of using artificial neural networks for optical performance monitoring of PSK data signals. Parameters for training are derived from delay-tap asynchronous diagrams using balanced detection. We also compare the results with the

Applications of artificial neural networks in optical performance monitoring

August 15, 2009
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Jargon, Xiaoxia Wu, Ronald Skoog, Loukas Paraschis, Alan Willner
Applications using artificial neural networks (ANNs) for optical performance monitoring (OPM) are proposed and demonstrated. Simultaneous identification of optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR), chromatic dispersion (CD), and polarization-mode-dispersion

Long distance frequency transfer through an optical carrier

August 2, 2009
Author(s)
Paul A. Williams
Fiber optic networks are an attractive means for the remote distribution of highly stable frequencies from optical clocks. The highest performance is achieved by use of the frequency of the optical carrier itself as the transfer frequency. We will review
