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 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

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

Rapid label-free spectroscopy of biological and chemical specimen via molecular vibration through means of Broadband Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (B-CARS) could serve as a basis for a robust diagnostic platform for a wide range of applications. A

The NIST Vacuum Double-Crystal Spectrometer (VDCS) has been modernized and is now capable of recording reference-free wavelength-dispersive spectra in the 2 keV to 12 keV x-ray energy range. The VDCS employs crystals in which the lattice spacings are

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

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

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
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

Precision laser spectroscopy is key to many developments in atomic and molecular physics and the advancement of related technologies such as atomic clocks and sensors. However, in important spectroscopic scenarios, such as astronomy and remote sensing, the
