Time-programmable frequency combs enable new measurement paradigms for dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) that are free of many of the constraints found in traditional DCS. As opposed to fixing the repetition rate offset between combs, free-form DCS uses full
Advances in THz methods and applications require the detection of weak THz pulsed signals. One solution to this problem is to amplify weak signals using optically biased electro-optical (EO) techniques. Several different EO amplification schemes are

It has been over 20 years since the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) first launched the web version of its X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) database [1] [2]. The XPS website has an approximate 1000 users everyday. The technology
The nonlinear response of materials, an increasingly important aspect of light-matter interaction, can be challenging to measure in highly absorbing materials. Here, we introduce an interferometric technique that enables a direct measurement of the nonline
Absolute quantity imaging of biomolecules on a single cell level is critical for measurement assurance in biosciences and bioindustries. While infrared (IR) transmission microscopy is a powerful label-free imaging modality capable of chemical

We measure the complete set of transition frequencies necessary to laser cool and trap MgF molecules. Specifically, we report the frequency of multiple low $J$ transitions of the $X^2\Sigma^+(v^\prime\prime}=0,1) \rightarrow A^2\Pi_1⁄2(v^\prime=0)$, $X^2
Single-isotherm n(p, T90) results are reported for the gases Ar, N2, H2O, and D2O at vacuum wavelength λ = 1542.383(1) nm. The argon and nitrogen isotherms were measured near 303 K; the water isotherms were measured near 373 K. Combined with the two
