Absorption-Based Ranging from Ambient Thermal Radiation without Known Emissivities

May 15, 2022
Author(s)
Unay Dorken Gallastegi, Hoover Rueda-Chacon, Marty Stevens, Vivek Goyal
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

Multimodal X-ray Probing of the Capacity Fade Mechanisms of Nickel Rich NMC - Progress and Outlook

April 22, 2022
Author(s)
Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Calvin Quilty, Patrick West, Wenzao Li, Mikaela Dunkin, Garrett Wheeler, Steven Ehrlich, Lu Ma, Esther Takeuchi, Kenneth Takeuchi, David Bock, Amy Marschilok
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

Assessing Arsenic Species in Foods Using Regularized Linear Regression of the Arsenic K-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure

April 19, 2022
Author(s)
Evan Jahrman, Lee L. Yu, William P. Krekelberg, David Sheen, Thomas C. Allison, John L. Molloy
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

A compact mid-infrared dual-comb spectrometer for outdoor spectroscopy

April 9, 2022
Author(s)
Gabriel Ycas, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Jacob T. Friedlein, Daniel Herman, Kevin Cossel, Esther Baumann, Nathan Newbury, Ian Coddington
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 for polymers

April 1, 2022
Author(s)
Shuyu Xu, Charles Camp, Young Jong Lee
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

Coherent contributions to population dynamics in a semiconductor microcavity

March 29, 2022
Author(s)
Jagannath Paul, Hendrik Rose, Ethan Swagel, Torsten Meier, Jared Wahlstrand, Alan Bristow
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

The Irradiance Instrument Subsystem (IRIS) on the Airborne-Lunar Spectral Irradiance (Air-LUSI) Instrument

March 23, 2022
Author(s)
Steven Grantham, Thomas C. Larason, Clarence Zarobila, Stephen Maxwell, John Woodward, Kevin Turpie, S. Andrew Gadsden
The objective of the airborne LUnar Spectral Irradiance (air-LUSI) project is to make low uncertainty, SI-traceable measurements of the lunar spectral irradiance in the visible to near-infrared (VNIR) region from an aircraft above most of the optically

Laser Spectroscopy of the y7PJo states of Cr I

March 16, 2022
Author(s)
Eric Norrgard, Daniel Barker, Stephen Eckel, Sergey Porsev, Charles Cheung, Mikhail Kozlov, Ilya Tupitsyn, Marianna Safronova
Here we report measured and calculated values of decay rates of the 3d$^4$($^5$D)4s4p($^3$P$^\rmo}}$)\ y$^7$P$^\rmo}}_2,3,4}$ states of Cr I. The decay rates are measured using time-correlated single photon counting with roughly 1\,\% total uncertainty. In

Imaging 3D molecular orientation by orthogonal-pair polarization IR microscopy

February 28, 2022
Author(s)
Shuyu Xu, Chad Snyder, Jeremy Rowlette, Young Lee
Anisotropic molecular alignment occurs ubiquitously and often heterogeneously in three dimensions (3D). However, conventional imaging approaches based on polarization can map only molecular orientation projected onto the 2D polarization plane. Here, an

Predicting solar cell performance from terahertz and microwave spectroscopy

February 26, 2022
Author(s)
Hannes Hempel, Edwin J. Heilweil, Timothy Magnanelli
Mobilities and lifetimes of photogenerated charge carriers are core properties of photovoltaic materials and can both be characterized by contactless terahertz or microwave measurements. Previously reported values for lead-halide perovskites vary by orders

Toward a New Primary Standardization of Radionuclide Massic Activity Using Microcalorimetry and Quantitative Milligram-Scale Samples

February 24, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Bradley Alpert, Dan Becker, Denis E. Bergeron, Richard Essex, Kelsey Morgan, Svetlana Nour, Galen O'Neil, Dan Schmidt, Gordon A. Shaw, Daniel Swetz, R. Michael Verkouteren, Daikang Yan
We present a new paradigm for the primary standardization of radionuclide activity per mass of solution (Bq/g). Two key enabling capabilities are 4π decay-energy spectrometry using chip-scale sub-Kelvin microcalorimeters and direct realization of mass by

Absorption Spectra of Martian Dust Simulants

February 18, 2022
Author(s)
James Radney, Christopher D. Zangmeister
Understanding the climate of Mars requires a detailed understanding of the optical properties of Martian dust as it is a ubiquitous component of the atmosphere. The need for a consensus motivates measurements of terrestrial simulants under controlled

Thermal-light heterodyne spectroscopy with frequency comb calibration
