Jitter Sensitivity Analysis of the Superconducting Josephson Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer

November 4, 2018
Author(s)
Christine A. Donnelly, Justus Brevik, Paul Dresselhaus, Pete Hopkins, Samuel P. Benz
We present the first jitter sensitivity analysis of a superconducting voltage reference waveform synthesizer with fundamentally accurate output pulses. Successful deployment of a reference waveform source at microwave frequencies will represent a new

Modulated Photocurrent Measurements in Double Junction Solar Cells

November 4, 2018
Author(s)
Nicolas Marquez Peraca, Behrang Hamadani
Frequency dependent external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements were performed on double junction solar cells by a custom-designed system consisting of an array of various monochromatic LEDs. Some LEDs were pulsed as a function of frequency while others

Precision Optical Antenna Alignment System for Tracking Antennas in 6-DOF

November 4, 2018
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny, Michael S. Allman
We present on an all-optical spatial metrology system, the PiCMM, that aids in the alignment and tracking of antennas with accuracies on the order of 25 microns and 0.01 deg. This system speeds up millimeter-wave antenna alignment, does not require contact

Rydberg Atom-based RF Power Measurements

November 4, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew T. Simons, Marcus D. Kautz, Abdulaziz H. Haddab, Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Thomas P. Crowley
The power transmitted through a waveguide was determined using in-situ atom-based electric field measurements. The field distribution in the waveguide was measured using Rydberg atoms to find the maximum field, which was used to determine the power. For a

A Systematic Study: Channel Sounding via Modal Expansion

November 3, 2018
Author(s)
Alex Yuffa, Ben Jamroz, Jake Rezac, Dylan Williams
We present preliminary results of using a modal (partial wave) expansion of the field to characterize a propagation channel. We assume that the measurements of the scalar, two-dimensional field from which the modal expansion coefficients are obtained

Antenna Radiation Pattern Measurements in Reverberation Chamber

November 3, 2018
Author(s)
Audrey K. Puls
Antenna radiation pattern measurements are typically performed in anechoic chambers which are expensive to buy and inconvenient to rent from external facilities. This paper investigates the use of a reverberation chamber for antenna radiation pattern

Periodic Table of the Elements

November 3, 2018
Author(s)
Karen Olsen
The periodic table contains NIST's latest critically evaluated data for atomic properties of the elements.

Bottom-Up Copper Filling of Large Scale Through Silicon Vias for MEMS Technology

November 2, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel Josell, Thomas P. Moffat, L A. Menk, E Baca, M Blain, A Smith, Jason Dominguez, J McClain, P D. Yeh, A E. Hollowell
An electrodeposition process for void-free bottom-up filling of sub-millimeter scale through silicon vias (TSVs) with Cu is detailed. The 600 m deep and nominally 125 m diameter metallized vias were filled with Cu in less than 7 hours under

Access Control for Emerging Distributed Systems

November 1, 2018
Author(s)
Chung Tong Hu, David R. Kuhn, David F. Ferraiolo
As big data, cloud computing, grid computing, and the Internet of Things reshape current data systems and practices, IT experts are keen to harness the power of distributed systems to boost security and prevent fraud. How can these systems' capabilities be

An Energy Analyzing Detector for Cold Neutrons

November 1, 2018
Author(s)
Nicholas C. Maliszewskyj, A. Osovizky, Kevin Pritchard, Y. Yehuda-Zada, Louis E. Binkley, Jeffrey B. Ziegler, Peter Tsai, Nancy J. Hadad, George M. Baltic, M. Jackson, C. Hurlbut, Charles F. Majkrzak

Chemical Selection of Emission State Configuration in a Quantum Light Emitter

November 1, 2018
Author(s)
Ming Zheng, Geyou Ao, Stephen K. Doorn
Covalently-introduced photoluminescent sp3 defects generate new emitting states and dramatically expand optical functionality of single-wall carbon nanotubes, opening routes to enhanced imaging, photon upconversion, and room-temperature single photon

Evolution and Challenges of DNS-Based CDNs

November 1, 2018
Author(s)
Zheng Wang, Scott W. Rose
DNS-based server redirecting has been realized as the most popular way to deploy CDNs. However, with the increasing use of remote DNS, DNS-based CDNs faces a great challenge in performance degradation. To address this challenging issue, encouraging
