Mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers are invaluable tools for molecular fingerprinting and imaging. Among the available spectroscopic approaches, MIR dual-comb absorption spectrometers have the potential to simultaneously combine the high-speed, high spectral

Gold and platinum have the face-centered-cubic crystal structure, are considered noble metals, and differ by one in atomic number. Near-edge M4,5 x-ray absorption and resonant M4,5N6,7N6,7 Auger spectroscopy reveal "dark" edges and a photon-energy

Cities across the globe are taking the lead on climate mitigation action with ambitious goals to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The implementation of effective mitigation policies will require accurate measurements to guide policy decisions and

A photoemission electron microscope (PEEM) was recently commissioned at the NIST. To benchmark its capabilities, epitaxial graphene on 4H-SiC (0001) was imaged and analyzed in the PEEM and compared to other complementary imaging techniques. We determine

The M-intrashell spectra from Co-like Yb$^43+}$ through Na-like Yb$^59+}$ ions produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have been studied in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. A few N-intrashell

Qubits made from superconducting materials are a mature platform for quantum information science application such as quantum computing. However, materials-based losses are now a limiting factor in reaching the coherence times needed for applications. In

We apply Linear Prediction from Singular Value Decomposition (LPSVD) to the analysis of two-dimensional complex optical spectra. LPSVD is a non-iterative procedure that fits time-domain complex data to the sum of damped sinusoids, or Lorentzian peaks in

We have demonstrated the first continuous-scan Electrical Substitution Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ES-FTS), which serves initially as an apparatus for absolute spectral responsivity calibrations of detectors over the wavelength range from 1.5 µm to 11

A chirped-pulse interleaving method is reported for generation of dual optical frequency combs based on electro-optic phase modulators (EOM) in a free-running all-fiber based system. The interleaving scheme effectively separates the EOM's (+) and (-)
We describe an algorithm to extract the complex refractive index of a material from broadband reflectance and transmittance measurements taken by spectrophotometers. The algorithm combines Kramers-Kronig analysis with an inversion of Fresnel's equations to

High-energy-resolution fluorescence-detected (HERFD) near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure measurements performed at the Pb and W L3 absorption edges has been used to study the pressure dependence of the local atomic structure of PbWO4 from 0 GPa to 22

Microwave (MW) sensing offers noninvasive, real-time detection of the electromagnetic properties of biological materials via the highly concentrated electromagnetic fields, for which advantages include wide bandwidth, small size, and cost-effective

The L-edge X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) is widely used in the characterization of transition metal compounds. Here, we report the development of a database of computed L-edge XANES using the multiple scattering theory-based FEFF9 code. The

This paper outlines the major update of the line-shape parameters that were performed for the nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO) molecules listed in the HITRAN2020 database. We reviewed the collected measurements for the air- and self-broadened

Microplastic pollution research has suffered from inadequate data and tools for spectral (Raman and infrared) classification. Spectral matching tools often are not accurate for microplastics identification and are cost-prohibitive. Lack of accuracy stems

We demonstrate a method for interleaving high-order sidebands in a fast-sweeping electro-optic dual-comb system. We probe CO2 at 1.6 um and show sweep-rate dependent rapid-passage effects modeled with the Maxwell-Bloch equations.
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can overcome the relatively low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NM) spectroscopy by using a paramagnetic matrix to hyperpolarize a nuclear spin ensemble. Application of DNP-NMR results in sensitivity gains of

We have improved the manufacturability of spectrally flat pyroelectric detectors for visible to mid-infrared wavelengths by demonstrating a spray-on, binder-depleted, carbon nanotube coating compatible with LiTaO3 sensors. This commercially available

Charge-resolved extreme ultraviolet spectra of open N-shell neodymium (Nd) ions have been recorded in an electron beam ion trap facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The measurements have been performed for nominal electron beam
