High-efficiency Coherence-Preserving Harmonic Rejection with Crystal Optics

September 1, 2018
Author(s)
Fan Zhang, Andrew J. Allen, Lyle E. Levine, Gabrielle G. Long, Ivan Kuzmenko, Jan Ilavsky
We report a harmonic rejection scheme based on the combination of Si (111) monochromator and Si (220) harmonic-rejection crystal optics. This approach is of importance to a wide range of X- ray applications in all three major branches of modern X-ray

Tunable mid-infrared generation via wide-band four-wave mixing in silicon nitride waveguides

August 27, 2018
Author(s)
Abijith S. Kowligy, Daniel D. Hickstein, Alexander Lind, David Carlson, Henry R. Timmers, Nima Nader, Daniel Maser, Daron Westly, Kartik Srinivasan, Scott Papp, Scott Diddams
We demonstrate wide-band frequency down-conversion to the mid-infrared (MIR) using four-wave mixing (FWM) of near-infrared (NIR) femtosecond-duration pulses from an Er:fiber laser, corresponding to 100 THz spectral translation. Photonic-chip-based silicon

Phase Modulators Based on High Mobility Ambipolar ReSe2 Field-Effect Transistors

Nihar Pradhan, Carlos Garcia, Bridget Isenberg, Daniel Rhodes, Simin Feng, Shariar Memaran, Yan Xin, Amber McCreary, Angela R. Hight Walker, Aldo Raeliarijaona, Humberto Terrones, Mauricio Terrones, Steve McGill, Luis Balicas
We fabricated ambipolar field-effect transistors (FETs) from multi-layered triclinic ReSe2, mechanically exfoliated onto a SiO2 layer grown on p-doped Si. In contrast to previous reports on thin layers (2 to 3 layers), we extract field-effect carrier

Complex coacervation in polyelectrolytes from a coarse-grained model

August 22, 2018
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Marat Andreev, Juan J. DePablo, Vivek Prabhu, Matthew Tirrell
Polyelectrolyte coacervation refers to the formation of distinct liquid phases that arise when polyelectrolytes are mixed under appropriate polymer and salt concentrations. Molecular-level studies of complex polyelectrolyte coacervation have been limited

White Rabbit-Based Time Distribution at NIST

August 21, 2018
Author(s)
Joshua J. Savory, Jeffrey A. Sherman, Stefania Romisch
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is responsible for ensuring the quality of its international and domestic time and frequency distribution systems. Since the physical inputs to these systems are not collocated within the campus, an

Spinor Bose-Einstein condensate phase-sensitive amplifier for SU(1,1) interferometry

August 16, 2018
Author(s)
Jonathan Wrubel, Arne Schwettmann, Donald P. Fahey, Glassmann Zachary, Heywon Pechkis, Paul Griffin, Ryan Barnett, Eite Tiesinga
The SU(1,1) interferometer was originally conceived as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the beam-splitters replaced by parametric amplifiers. The parametric amplifiers produce states with correlations that result in enhanced phase sensitivity. F = 1

Chip Scale Atomic Devices

August 14, 2018
Author(s)
John E. Kitching
Chip-scale atomic devices combine elements of precision atomic spectroscopy, silicon micromachining and advanced diode laser technology to create compact, low-power and manufacturable instruments with high precision and stability. We review the design

Ramsey, Paul Robertson, Arpita Roy, Christian Schwab, Kartik Srinivasan, Gudmundur Stefansson, Ryan C. Terrien
We detail the first infrared precision astronomical spectroscopy results from the combination of an electro-optic laser frequency comb and the Habitable Zone Planet Finder spectrograph at the 10 m Hobby-Eberly telescope.

An electro-optic ultrafast light source with sub-cycle stability

August 8, 2018
Author(s)
David R. Carlson, Daniel D. Hickstein, Wei Zhang, Andrew J. Metcalf, Franklyn J. Quinlan, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
Optical frequency combs can produce femtosecond light pulses with sub-cycle precision, and are typically made by relying on the intrinsic stability of mode-locked lasers. Now, by carving a continuous-wave laser into pulses via electro-optic modulation (EOM

Thermal and Nonlinear Dissipative-Soliton Dynamics in Kerr Microresonator Frequency Combs

August 8, 2018
Author(s)
Jordan R. Stone, Travis Briles, Tara E. Drake, Daryl T. Spencer, David R. Carlson, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
We report on radiofrequency techniques to reliably generate and control dissipative-Kerr- soliton microresonator frequency combs. Since the pump-laser frequency detuning to the resonator primarily determines the soliton dynamics, we devise an offset Pound

Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer (TWSTFT) is a primary technique for the generation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). About 20 timing laboratories around the world continuously operate TWSTFT using the SAtellite Time and Ranging Equipment

A Highly Linear Calibration Metric for TES X-ray Microcalorimeters

Transition-edge sensor X-ray microcalorimeters are usually calibrated empirically, as the most widely-used calibration metric, optimal filtered pulse height (OFPH), in general has an unknown dependance on photon energy, E γ. Because the calibration

Towards superconductivity in p-type delta-doped Si/Al/Si heterostructures

In pursuit of superconductivity in p-type silicon (Si), we are using a single atomic layer of aluminum (Al) sandwiched between a Si substrate and a thin Si epi-layer. The delta layer was fabricated starting from an ultra high vacuum (UHV) flash anneal of

July 30, 2018
Author(s)
Vladislav P. Gerginov, Kyle P. Beloy
An optical reference based on two-photon optical transition with AC stark shift cancellation is proposed. The reference uses two interrogating laser fields at different frequencies. Compared to conventional optical two-photon references, the new approach
