Coherent dual comb spectroscopy can provide high-resolution, high-accuracy measurements of a sample response in both magnitude and phase. We discuss the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to both additive white noise and multiplicative noise, and
Aimed at improving quality assurance and quantitation for modern fluorescence techniques, ASTM is about to release a Standard Guide for Fluorescence, reviewed here. The guide s main focus is on steady state fluorometry, for which available standards and
A high quality x-ray spectrum image of a 3.3 μm diameter sphere of K411 glass resting on a copper substrate was collected at 25 keV. The same sample configuration was modeled using the NISTMonte Monte Carlo simulation of electron and x-ray transport as is

We demonstrate that an optimized 2-pulse broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) technique can be used to simultaneously measure vibrational dephasing times over a broad frequency range of Raman modes (between 500 cm-1 and 3100 cm-1). This
A Raman microscope utilizing a total internal reflection (TIR), annular illumination geometry through a ZnSe solid immersion lens (SIL) is described. Spectra of a thin film sample of the transparent organic conductor poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the use of quantum chemistry calculations to obtain the torsional dependence of various structural and vibrational-force-field-related quantities that could help in estimating the vibration-torsion-rotation

We present the results of an IR study of the effect of temperature on the formation of Au-monolayer-Si molecular junctions by using a flip-chip lamination approach. Carboxylic acid-terminated alkanethiols self-assembled on ultrasmooth gold substrate have
Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue specimens for histopathology are cut to 3-20 μm thickness to allow transmission of light, and optimize tissue morphology. Tissue is stabilized by formalin fixation followed by impregnation with wax in nonpolar
A single, closed three-state -system in room-temperature rubidium is investigated experimentally using a copropagating beam parallel-polarization configuration under weakly driven electromagnetically induced transparency EITcondition. Compare with the

Using both a cavity and a broadband microwave spectrometers, the microwave spectrum of the sugar alcohol 1,3-propanediol (CH2OHCH2CH2OH) has been measured over the frequency range 6.7 GHz to 25.4 GHz. Two conformers of 1,3-propanediol have been assigned

A new program is described for fitting rotation-torsion energy levels in the molecules like toluene, in which the frame (C6H5) has C2v symmetry and the methyl top has C3v symmetry, i.e., for molecules where the internal rotation barrier is expanded in

Alternating multi-layer and 1:1 blended films of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc)and buckminsterfullerene (C60) were investigated as model active layers for solar cells by Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy (TRTS). Relative photon-to-carrier efficiencies 2
Spectrum simulation is a useful practical and pedagogical tool. Particularly with complex samples or trace constituents, a simulation can help to understand the limits of the technique and how to optimize the tools for the optimal measurement. DTSA-II

The first measurement of hydrogen-like vanadium x-ray Lyman alpha transitions has been made. The measurement was made on an absolute scale, fully independent of atomic structure calculations. Sufficient signal was obtained to reduce the statistical

To predict the vibrational spectra of molecules, ab initio calculations are often used to compute harmonic frequencies, which are usually scaled by empirical factors as an approximate correction for errors in the force constants and for anharmonic effects
We present a systematical investigation, both analytical and numerical, on the dynamics of two nearly lossless and distortion-free weak nonlinear optical pulses in a cold, lifetime-broadened four-state double-Λ system via electromagnetically induced
