We present new high accuracy measurements of the (30012)←(00001) CO¬2 band near 1575 nm recorded with a frequency-agile, rapid scanning cavity ring-down spectrometer. The resulting spectra were fit with the partially correlated, quadratic-speed-dependent

Cavity ring-down spectrometer for high-fidelity molecular absorption measurements

Vincent T. Sironneau, Hong Lin, Zachary Reed, Joseph T. Hodges
We present a cavity ring-down spectrometer which was developed for near-infrared measurements of laser absorption by atmospheric greenhouse gases. This system has several important attributes that make it possible to conduct broad spectral surveys and to

Magic wavelengths for the 5s-18s transition in rubidium

Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Roger C. Brown, James V. Porto, Robert Wyllie, Silvio B. Koller, M S. Safronova, Ulyana I. Safronova, David Norris
Magic wavelengths, for which there is no differential ac Stark shift for the ground and excited state of the atom, allow trapping of excited Rydberg atoms without broadening the optical transition. This is an important tool for implementing quantum gates

Fourier transform spectra of phosgene (Cl2CO) have been recorded in the 11.75 μm and 5.47 μm spectral regions using a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer at resolutions of 0.00102 cm-1 and 0.0015 cm-1 respectively leading to the observation of the ν5 and ν1

Application of NMR-based Metabolomics for Environmental Assessment in the Great Lakes using Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) polymorpha)

Miki Watanabe, Katherine Meyer, Tyler Jackson, Tracey Johnston, Ed Johnson, Dan Bearden
Zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, in the Great Lakes is being monitored as a bio-indicator organism for environmental health effects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Mussel Watch program. In order to monitor the environmental

Near-Field Asymmetries in Plasmonic Resonators

February 12, 2015

Vladimir Aksyuk, Basudev Lahiri, Glenn Holland, Andrea Centrone
Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy exploits the locally enhanced field surrounding plasmonic metamaterials to increase the sensitivity of infrared spectroscopy. Light polarization and incident angle are important factors for exciting

Two samples of the blue glass produced in the middle 19th century from the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand, were studied in order to understand the origin of its blue color. The oxide components and trace elements are quantitatively

Multiply-ionized Atoms Isolated at low energy in a Unitary Penning Trap

Joseph Tan, Shannon Hoogerheide, Samuel Brewer, Nicholas D. Guise
Ions extracted from the EBIT at NIST are slowed and captured in a Penning trap that is made very compact ( 150 cm3) by a unitary architecture. Measurements after 1 ms of ion storage indicate that the captured ions are distributed with 5(1) eV of energy

Interrogating the Carbon and Oxygen K-edge NEXAFS of a CO2-dosed Hyperbranched Aminosilica

Circularly-polarized extreme UV and X-ray radiation provides valuable access to the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of materials. To date, this capability was available only at large-scale X-ray free-electron lasers or synchrotrons. Here we

The electronic structure of singly ionized tin (Sn II) is partly a one-electron and partly a three-electron system with ground configuration 5s25p. The excited configurations are of the type 5s2nℓ in the one-electron part, and 5s5p2, 5p3 and 5s5pnℓ (nℓ =
