Broadband coherent spectroscopy in the near infrared using dual coherent frequency combs

August 15, 2010
Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Ian R. Coddington, Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Alexander M. Zolot
Fiber-based frequency combs can provide broadband coherent light that enables new possibilities for high-accuracy, high-resolution broadband spectroscopy. We use a configuration with two coherently phase-locked combs; the output of one comb passes through

Spectroscopy with a coherent dual frequency comb interferometer at 3.4 mm

August 1, 2010

Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A coherent dual fiber-comb spectrometer centered at 1.5 µm wavelengths is transferred to 3.4 µm by difference-frequency generation with a 1064 nm cw laser. It is shown that the residual linewidth between the comb teeth at 3.4 µm is resolution-limited to

Ettore Majorana and the birth of autoionization

July 2, 2010
Author(s)
Charles W. Clark, Ennio Arimondo, William C. Martin
In the early days of theoretical atomic spectroscopy, Ettore Majorana (1906-1938?) solved several outstanding problems by developing the theory of autoionization. Later literature makes only sporadic references to this accomplishment. Reviewing his work in

Standard Photoacoustic Spectrometer: Model and Validation using O2 A-Band Spectra

June 30, 2010
Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, Daniel K. Havey, Joseph T. Hodges
We model and measure the absolute response of an intensity-modulated photoacoustic spectrometer comprising a 10 cm long resonator and having a Q-factor of approximately 30. We present a detailed theoretical analysis of the system and predict its response

Measurement of residual stress field anisotropy at indentations in silicon

June 23, 2010
Author(s)
Yvonne B. Gerbig, Stephan J. Stranick, Robert F. Cook
The residual stress field around spherical indentations on single crystal silicon (Si) of different crystallographic orientation is mapped by confocal Raman microscopy. All orientations exhibit an anisotropic stress pattern with an orientation specific

High frequency characterization of a Schottky contact to a GaN nanowire bundle

June 16, 2010
Author(s)
Chin J. Chiang, Thomas M. Wallis, Dazhen Gu, Atif A. Imtiaz, Pavel Kabos, Paul T. Blanchard, Kristine A. Bertness, Norman A. Sanford, Kichul Kim, Dejan Filipovic
A GaN nanowire (NW) Schottky contact was characterized up to 10 GHz. Using a calibration procedure and circuit model a capacitance-voltage (CV) curve was obtained, from which a carrier concentration was calculated for the first time. These results

Tunable laser spectroscopy referenced with dual frequency combs

June 15, 2010
Author(s)
Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, Esther Baumann, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
Frequency combs provide broadband spectroscopic measurements with high frequency accuracy and precision. However, because the comb power is distributed over a broad spectrum, the sensitivity can be low unless some form of multiplexed detection or cavity

Certification of NIST Standard Reference Material 640d

June 1, 2010
Author(s)
David R. Black, Donald A. Windover, Albert Henins, David L. Gil, James J. Filliben, James P. Cline
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certify a variety of standard reference materials (SRM) to address specific aspects of instrument performance for divergent beam diffractometers. This report describes SRM 640d, the fifth generation

Third-Order Intermodulation Distortion due to Self-heating in Gold Coplanar Waveguides

May 23, 2010
Author(s)
Eduard Rocas, Juan C. Collado Gomez, Nathan D. Orloff, James C. Booth
We present measurements and modeling of a self-heating mechanism responsible for third order intermodulation distortion in coplanar waveguide transmission lines. Temperature fluctuations, at the envelope frequency of the input signal, induce dynamic

Dual frequency-comb sampling of a quasi-thermal incoherent light source

May 1, 2010
Author(s)
Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Esther Baumann, Nathan R. Newbury
Dual, coherent frequency combs are used to measure the spectrum of an incoherent, quasi-thermal source through Fourier spectroscopy. The source spectrum is acquired over 1THz bandwidth with an absolute frequency accuracy set by the combs.

Metrology of Molecular Devices made by Flip Chip Lamination

April 30, 2010
Author(s)
Christina A. Hacker, Mariona Coll Bau, Curt A. Richter
Scaling of conventional electronics has continued unabated to dimensions approaching fundamental physical limits. As technology continues to evolve there are increasing demands to identify alternate routes of performing electrical functions. One potential

Direct Observation of Coherent Population Trapping in a Superconducting Artificial Atom

April 20, 2010
Author(s)
David P. Pappas, Jeffrey S. Kline, Willim R. Kelley, Zachary Dutton, Thomas A. Ohki, john Schlafer, Bashkar Mookerji
The phenomenon of coherent population trapping (CPT) of an atom (or solid state artificial atom ), and the associated effect of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), are clear demonstrations of quantum interference due to coherence in multilevel

The A 2E" - X 2A2' Transition of NO 3 Trapped in Solid Neon

April 7, 2010
Author(s)
Marilyn E. Jacox, Warren E. Thompson
NO3 has been stabilized in a neon matrix at 4.3 K in sufficient yield for detection of the absorptions between 7000 and 10000 cm-1 which arise from vibronically allowed transitions from its ground state to levels of the A 2E" state. The results confirm and

Raman spectroscopic observation of dehydrogenation in ball-milled LiNH2-LiBH4-MgH2 nanoparticles

April 3, 2010
Author(s)
Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Chun Chiu, James E. Maslar, Leonid A. Bendersky, Michael E. Niemann, Sesha S. Srinivasan, Elias K. Stefanakos
In situ Raman spectroscopy was used to monitor the dehydrogenation of ball-milled mixtures of LiNH2 LiBH4 MgH2 nanoparticles. The as-milled powders were found to contain a mixture of Li4BN3H10 and Mg(NH2)2, with no evidence of residual LiNH2 or LiBH4. It
