We present fully air clad suspended-silicon waveguides for efficient nonlinear interactions limited only by the silicon transparency. Novel fork-shaped couplers provide efficient input ( 2 dB) and broadband 3 dB output coupling spanning 6.0-8.5 υm

We use the (Mo,W)Te2 system to explore the potential of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as phasechange materials for integrated photonics. We measure the complex optical constant of MoTe2 in both the 2H and 1T phases by spectroscopic ellipsometry

Extreme-ultraviolet spectra of the L-shell ions of highly charged yttrium Y26+ - Y36+ were observed in the electron beam ion trap of the National Institute of Standards and Technology using a flat-field grazing-incidence spectrometer in the wavelength

The current analytical techniques for characterizing printing and graphic arts substrates, particularly those used to date and to authenticate provenance, are largely ex situ and destructive. This limits the amount of data that can be captured from an

We demonstrate Ramsey-Borde (RB) atom interferometry for high performance laser stabilization with fractional frequency instability −16 for timescales between 10 and 1000s. The RB spectroscopy laser interrogates two counterpropagating 40Ca beams on the 1S

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy measures paramagnetic free radicals, or electron spins, in a variety of biological, chemical, and physical systems. Detection of diverse paramagnetic species is important in applications ranging from quantum

Advances in sensing technology raise the possibility of creating neural interfaces that can more effectively restore or repair neural function and reveal fundamental properties of neural information processing. To realize the potential of these

We report recent advances in absolute x-ray wavelength metrology in the context of producing modern standard reference data. Primary standard x-ray wavelengths are typically measured with two-crystal (or more) diffraction spectrometers operated in

A Cauchois type spectrometer utilizing the (203) lattice planes at an oblique angle of 11.53o to the surface of a quartz transmission crystal recorded the Kα and Kβ spectral lines of six elements from Fe to Ag in the 6 keV to 22 keV energy range from a
We present an approach to classical polarimetry which requires no moving parts, is compact and robust, and which encodes the complete polarization information on a single data frame, accomplished by replacing the rotation of components such as wave plates
