High-resolution X-ray emission spectroscopy with transition-edge sensors: present performance and future potential

May 1, 2015
Author(s)
W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Joseph Fowler, Daniel Swetz, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Carl D. Reintsema, Douglas Bennett, Leila R. Vale, Gene C. Hilton, Dan Schmidt, Joel Ullom, Jens Uhlig, Ujjwal Mandal, Galen O'Neil, Luis Miaja Avila, Young I. Joe, wilfrid fullagar, Fredrick P. Gustafsson, Dharma Kurunthu, Villy Sundstrom
X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) is a powerful element-selective tool to analyze the oxidation states of atoms in complex compounds, determine their electronic configuration, and identify unknown compounds in challenging environments. Until now the low

On-Fiber Plasmonic Interferometer for Multi-Parameter Sensing

April 20, 2015
Author(s)
Zhijian Zhang, Yongyao Chen, Haijun H. Liu, Hyungdae Bae, Douglas A. Olson, Miao Yu
We demonstrate a novel miniature multi-parameter sensing device based on a plasmonic interferometer fabricated on a fiber facet in the optical communication wavelength range. This device enables the coupling between surface plasmon resonance and plasmonic

Photodetectors: High-Gain and Low-Driving-Voltage Photodetectors Based on Organolead Triiodide Perovskites (Adv. Mater. 11/2015)

March 12, 2015

Riu Dong, Yanjun Fang, Jungseok Chae, Jun Dai, Zhengguo Xiao, Qingfeng Dong, Yongbo Yuan, Andrea Centrone, Xiaocheng Zeng, Jinsong Huang
Methylammonium lead triiodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite is an emerging low-cost, solution processable material which attracts great interest for enabling the fabrication of high performance optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, room temperature lasers

An Overview of the NTIA/NIST Spectrum Monitoring Pilot Program

March 9, 2015
Author(s)
Michael Cotton, Michael R. Souryal, Mudumbai Ranganathan, Jeff Wepman, Julie Kub, Steve Engelking, Yeh Lo, Heather Ottke, Raian Kaiser, Douglas Anderson
This paper provides an overview of a Spectrum Monitoring Pilot Program within the U.S. Department of Commerce. It provides background, motivation, goals, accomplishments, and plans for future work. We describe the development of a federated Measured

Experimental Bounds on Classical Random Field Theories

December 10, 2014
Author(s)
Joffrey K. Peters, Sergey V. Polyakov, Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall
Alternative theories to quantum mechanics motivate important fundamental tests of our understanding and description of the smallest physical systems. Here we place experimental limits on those classical field theories which result in power-dependent

Photonic-assisted Endoscopic Analysis of Guided W-band Pulses

August 24, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Jargon, DongJoon Lee, JaeYong Kwon
We present a photonic-assisted time-domain measurement technique for exploring millimeter-wave propagation through a W-band waveguide. The electric fields, guided inside a rectangular waveguide, are sampled using a sub-millimeter-scale electro-optic probe

In Search of Better Pressure Standards

August 1, 2014
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Jacob E. Ricker, Patrick F. Egan, Gregory F. Strouse
Based on highly accurate optical interferometry and fundamental quantum calculations, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US are developing an improved definition of the SI unit for pressure that will consign the

Millimeter Wave Detection via Autler-Townes Splitting in Rubidium Rydberg Atoms

July 17, 2014
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Andrew Schwarzkopf, Dave Anderson, Stephanie Miller, Nithiwadee Thaicharoen, Georg Raithel
In this paper we demonstrate the detection of millimeter waves via Autler-Townes splitting in 85Rb Rydberg atoms. This method may provide an independent atomic-based SI-traceable method for measuring mm-wave electric fi elds, which addresses a gap in

Power Supply Issues for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Review

March 1, 2014
Author(s)
Wenqi Guo, William M. Healy, Mengchu Zhou
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have enabled numerous embedded wireless applications in different areas such as military/battlefield, environmental monitoring, and intelligent building systems. They consist of a large number of nodes that need to operate

A four-pixel single-photon pulse-position array fabricated from WSi superconducting nanowire single- photon detectors

February 3, 2014
Author(s)
Varun B. Verma, Robert D. Horansky, Francesco Marsili, Jeffrey Stern, Matthew Shaw, Adriana E. Lita, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We demonstrate a scalable readout scheme for an infrared single-photon pulse-position camera consisting of WSi superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. For an N × N array, only 2 × N wires are required to obtain the position of a detection event

Greedy Backpressure Routing for Smart Grid Sensor Networks

January 13, 2014
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
In this paper, a greedy backpressure routing protocol is proposed for multigate mesh networks. This protocol evaluates the greedy backpressure metric (GBM) value of mesh points and routes packets in the direction of the steepest gradient. The GBM value is

High resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy with a microwave-multiplexed TES array

November 11, 2013
Author(s)
Omid Noroozian, John A. Mates, Douglas A. Bennett, Justus A. Brevik, Joseph W. Fowler, Jiansong Gao, Robert D. Horansky, Kent D. Irwin, Daniel R. Schmidt, Joel N. Ullom, Zhao Kang
We demonstrate the first gamma-ray spectroscopy with a microwave-multiplexed two-pixel TES(transition-edge sensor) array. We measured a $^{153}$Gd photon source and achieved an energy resolution of 63 eV full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) at 97 keV and an
