Evaluating Measurement Uncertainty for Firearm Barrel and Overall Length Measurements

November 1, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Stocker, Theodore V. Vorburger, Thomas Renegar, Robert Thompson, Mark Williford
In recent years, more forensic laboratories are seeking accreditation to ISO 17020 and 17025. In the field of firearm and toolmark forensics, the barrel length and overall length of a firearm are typical measurements performed in the laboratory to

Generation of perfect vortex beams by dielectric geometric metasurface for visible light

Qianwei Zhou, Mingze Liu, Wenqi Zhu, Lu Chen, Yongze Ren, Henri Lezec, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu, Amit Agrawal
Perfect vortex beam (PVB) is a propagating optical field carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) with a radial intensity profile that is independent of topological charge. PVB can be generated through the Fourier transform of a Bessel-Gaussian beam, which

This report provides a statistical review of the U.S. manufacturing industry. There are three aspects of U.S. manufacturing that are considered: (1) how the U.S. industry compares to other countries, (2) the trends in the domestic industry, and (3) the

Absolute radiation pressure detector using a diamagnetically levitating test mass

October 28, 2021
Author(s)
Anna Vaskuri, Daniel Rahn, Paul A. Williams, John H. Lehman
We have developed an absolute radiometer to measure laser power by means of radiation pressure in a closed control-loop configuration using diamagnetically levitated pyrolytic graphite as the soft spring and gravity as a contactless restoring force. Our
