We present dual-comb spectroscopy across a 14.5-km path using remote receiver and data acquisition. This configuration results in lower link losses compared to open-path configurations with co-located transmitter and receiver.
We analyze several pulse-height analysis schemes aimed at realizing maximum precision with TES (transition-edge sensor) microcalorimeter x-ray detectors. Issues of concern are nonstationary noise when the pulse takes the TES element into a higher

Typical studies of gastral toxicity are conducted using radio labeling. This tends to be quite expensive and difficult owing to the required protocols for working with these materials and the expense of the chemical reagents. A possible alternative is

Abstract Objective Temperature controlled T 1 and T 2 relaxation times are measured on NiCl 2 and MnCl 2 solutions from the ISMRM/NIST system phantom at low magnetic field strengths of 6.5 mT, 64 mT and 550 mT. Materials and methods The T 1 and T 2 were

Arrays of low-temperature microcalorimeters provide a promising technology for X-ray astrophysics: the imaging spectrometer. A camera with at least several thousand pixels, each of which has an energy-resolving power (E∕ΔE_FWHM) of a few thousand across a

We demonstrate a THz imaging system using chirped pulses to acquire amplitude and phase information of various samples, enabling hyperspectral imaging and axial optical path delay determination approximately 50x better than the diffraction limited lateral
We investigate the use of Raman spectroscopy to measure carrier concentrations in n-type GaSb epilayers with the goal of aiding in the development of this technique for nondestructive characterization of transport properties in doped semiconductors. The

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors exhibit strong excitonic optical resonances which serve as a microscopic, non-invasive probe into their fundamental properties. Like the hydrogen atom, such excitons can exhibit an entire

Effective and rapid screening methods for seized drug analysis are crucial to ensure the safety of first responders and laboratory personnel, while reducing overall analysis time and improving reliability. The drug landscape has been overwhelmed by
Hyperspectral luminescence imaging adds high-resolution spectral data to the electroluminescence and photoluminescence images of photovoltaic materials and devices. This enables absolute calibration across a range of spectra and, subsequently, enhances the

Highly-excited Rydberg atoms have been used for International System of Unit (SI)-traceable radio-frequency (RF) electric field and power measurements, but are limited in sensitivity to order 100 $\mu$V/m/$\sqrtHz}$ by noise and linewidth issues. These

Traditional electro-optic frequency comb spectrometers rely upon the use of an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) to provide a differential frequency shift between probe and local oscillator (LO) legs of the interferometer. Here we show that these modulators

Dual-comb spectroscopy measures greenhouse gas concentrations over kilometer-length open-air paths with high precision. However, characterizing the absolute accuracy of these outdoor measurements is challenging, as most gas species have fluctuating

Participants to the 2022 Manufacturing Contest were challenged to fabricate an optical filter with a specified stepped transmittance spanning three orders of magnitude from 400 nm to 1100 nm. The problem required that contestants be equally versed in the
