In recent years, interesting materials have emerged which are only available as µm-scale flakes, and whose novel physics might be better understood through broadband microwave spectroscopy; examples include twisted bilayer graphene [1], 2D materials in
A new THz difference-frequency chirped-pulse dual-comb method based on electro-optic phase modulators (EOMs) and two near-visible continuous wave lasers is used to perform high resolution spectroscopy and to magnify the rapid passage signal response.
We present a multi-frequency DIAL system based on a fast-switching wavelength source and fiber optic amplification to acquire range-resolved dry-air CO2 concentrations over the city of Boulder, Colorado USA
A ten wavelength DIAL system based on a 100 Hz optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is used to simultaneously acquire range-resolved and integrated path dry-air CO2 concentrations from soft cloud targets in Boulder, Colorado.

Imaging, scattering, and spectroscopy are fundamental in understanding and discovering new functional materials. Contemporary innovations in automation and experimental techniques have led to these measurements being performed much faster and with higher
The development of new characterization methods has resulted in innovative studies of the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Observations of nanoscale heterogeneity with scanning probe microscopy methods have led to efforts to further understand
We present passive absorption-based ranging using long-wave infrared hyperspectral measurements of an outdoor scene. Regularization and parametric modeling of transmittance enable good accuracy without knowing temperatures or emissivities of scene objects

NMC is a commercially successful Li-ion battery cathode due to its high energy density; however, its delivered capacity must be intentionally limited to achieve capacity retention over extended cycling. To design next-generation NMC batteries with longer

The toxicity and bioavailability of arsenic is heavily dependent on its speciation. Therefore, robust and accurate methods are needed to determine arsenic speciation profiles for materials related to public health initiatives, such as food safety. Here, X

This manuscript describes the design of a robust, mode-locked laser based, mid-infrared dual- comb spectrometer operating in the 3.1-µm to 4-µm spectral window. The design represents an improvement in signal-to-noise, system size, power consumption and
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is a label-free chemical imaging modality capable of interrogating local molecular composition, concentration, and even orientation. In comparison to traditional Raman spectroscopy/imaging, CARS

The 3D molecular orientations of polymer chains are imaged and compared for a quiescent spherulite region and a shear deformed region of a semicrystalline poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) film. The images of 3D orientation are acquired by a newly developed

Multidimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS) is used to separate coherent and incoherent many-body contributions to the population-time dynamics in a GaAs-based semiconductor microcavity encapsulating a single InGaAs quantum well. In a three-pulse four
