Universal electronic synthesis by microresonator-soliton photomixing

May 13, 2025
Author(s)
Jizhao Zang, Travis Briles, Jesse Morgan, Andreas Beling, Scott Papp
Access to electrical signals across the millimeter-wave (mmW) and terahertz (THz) bands offers breakthroughs for high-performance applications. Despite generations of revolutionary development, integrated electronics are challenging to scale at 100-1000

Broadband Optoelectronic Mixer for Terahertz Frequency-Comb Measurements

May 5, 2025
Author(s)
Jizhao Zang, Jesse Morgan, Andreas Beling, Scott Papp
We demonstrate ultra-broadband optoelectronic mixing of frequency combs that provides phase-coherent detection of a repetition frequency up to 500 GHz, using a high-speed modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiode. Nonlinear photo-electron effects in

High-Precision Optical Time and Frequency Transfer

May 2, 2025
Author(s)
Emily Caldwell, Theodora Triano, Laura Sinclair
High-precision optical time and frequency transfer is accomplished by a collection of laser-based techniques that achieve time dissemination with sub-picosecond instabilities and frequency dissemination with instabilities below one part in 1016. The

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2022

April 30, 2025
Author(s)
Peter Mohr, David Newell, Barry N. Taylor, Eite Tiesinga
We report the 2022 self-consistent values of constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data of the International Science Council (CODATA). The recommended values can also be found at physics.nist.gov

Microstructure effects on the fracture surface resistance of base metal in line pipe steels in high pressure H2 gas

April 29, 2025
Author(s)
Andrew LeBoeuf, Santigopal Samanta, Joseph Ronevich, Christopher San Marchi, Zachary Buck, Matthew Connolly, Lawrence Cho, Kip Findley
Cost-effective transportation of gaseous hydrogen requires the use of long-distance low-carbon steel pipeline networks. Employing higher strength (X65-X70) grades can allow for economic viability by enabling operation at higher pressures. While higher

Dynamically generated concatenated codes and their phase diagrams

April 24, 2025
Author(s)
Grace Sommers, David Huse, Michael Gullans
We formulate code concatenation as the action of a unitary quantum circuit on an expanding tree geometry and find that for certain classes of gates, applied identically at each node, a binary tree circuit encodes a single logical qubit with code distance

Ellipsometry in the EUV Regime

April 24, 2025
Author(s)
Aaron Chew, Bryan Barnes, Eric Shirley, Thomas Germer
We propose and analyze the sensitivity of an ellipsometer that uses extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light from the synchrotron SURF-III. The ellipsometer employs a four-mirror geometry to control polarization, as documented in the associated patent. With a

Compact Blackbody Radiation Atomic Sensor: Measuring Temperature using Optically Excited Atoms in Vapor Cells

April 17, 2025
Author(s)
David La Mantia, Mingxin Lei, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Noah Schlossberger, Matthew Simons, Christopher Holloway, Julia Scherschligt, Stephen Eckel, Eric Norrgard
We demonstrate a blackbody radiation thermometer based on optically excited rubidium atoms in a vapor cell. Operating as a calibrated contact thermometer from 308K to 343 K, we realize temperature uncertainty as low as 0.04 %, and statistical temperature

Charge-exchange processes in EBIT: implications for spectral analysis of few-electron Fe ions

April 16, 2025
Author(s)
Yang Yang, FNU Dipti, Amy Gall, Nancy Brickhouse, Hunter Staiger, Galen O'Neil, Paul Szypryt, Adam Foster, David Schultz, Aung Naing, Joseph Tan, Daniel Swetz, Michael Fogle, Randall Smith, Yuri Ralchenko, Endre Takacs
Charge-exchange recombination with neutral atoms significantly influences the ionization balance in electron beam ion traps (EBIT) because its cross section is relatively large compared to cross sections of electron collision induced processes. Modeling

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

April 7, 2025
Author(s)
Kelsey Rodriguez
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a variety of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

METROLOGY FOR MRI: THE FIELD YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF

March 19, 2025
Author(s)
Kathryn Keenan, Stephen Russek, Matt Hall
Quantitative MRI has been an active area of research for decades and has produced a huge range of approaches with enormous potential for patient benefit. In many cases, however, there are challenges with reproducibility which has hampered clinical
