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

Development of a robust, thin, hole-blocking (n+) contact on high purity germanium (HPGe) has been the main challenge in the development of Ge-based radiation sensors. Yttrium has been reported to be a viable hole-blocking contact on HPGe, and detectors

Symmetry is a powerful concept in physics, but its applicability to far-from-equilibrium states is still being understood. Recent attention has focused on how far-from-equilibrium states lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Conversely, ultrafast optical
Despite the ubiquity of three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic materials, their 3D molecular alignment cannot be measured using conventional two-dimensional (2D) polarization imaging. Here, we present images of the 3D angles of molecular orientations with

We investigate the sensitivity and potential of a synergistic experiment-theory X-ray Raman spectroscopy (XRS) methodology on revealing and following the static and dynamic electronic structure of high explosive molecular materials. We show that advanced

We report structure-terahertz property relationship for various non-oxide chalcogenide glasses including unary (vitreous selenium (Se)), binary (arsenic sulfide (As-S), arsenic selenide (As-Se), and germanium selenide (Ge-Se)), and ternary (germanium
Photothermal induced resonance (PTIR), an atomic force microscopy (AFM) analogue of IR spectroscopy capable of nanoscale lateral resolution, finds broad applications in biology and materials science. Here, the spectral range of a top-illumination PTIR
Atomic scale spectroscopy provides an exceptional ability to define electronic, optical, thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials at the nanoscale. At these scales, dimensional confinement can lead to new and unusual properties, where the
