Probing coherence in microcavity frequency combs via optical pulse shaping

August 29, 2012
Author(s)
Fahmida Ferdous, Houxun H. Miao, Pei-Hsun Wang, Daniel E. Leaird, Kartik Srinivasan, Lei Chen, Vladimir Aksyuk, Andrew M. Weiner
Recent investigations of microcavity frequency combs based on cascaded four-wave mixing have revealed a link between the evolution of the optical spectrum and the observed temporal coherence. Here we study a silicon nitride microresonator for which the

Review: Biological Imaging Software Tools

August 29, 2012
Author(s)
Anne L. Plant, Kevin Eliceiri, Anne Carpenter
Few technologies are more widespread in modern biological laboratories than imaging by microscopy. Advancements in optical technologies and instrumentation over the past twenty years have led to massive improvements in the resolution, specificity

Training Excellence: What Does Success Look Like?

August 28, 2012
Author(s)
Carol T. Hockert, Georgia L. Harris
The National Institute of Standards, Office of Weights and Measures has been working the last few years toward compliance with several educational standards in support of our training program for the legal metrology and laboratory metrology community. By

Measuring Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Length Distributions from Diffusional Trajectories

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Jason Streit, Sergei M. Bachilo, Anton V. Naumov, Constantine Y. Khripin, Ming Zheng, R B. Weisman
A new method is demonstrated for measuring the length distributions of dispersed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples by analyzing diffusional motions of many individual nanotubes in parallel. In this method, termed Length Analysis by Nanotube

Modeling Methodologies and Simulation for Dynamical Systems

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Ion Matei, Conrad E. Bock
Computer-interpretable representations of system structure and behavior are at the center of designing today’s complex systems. Engineers create and review such representations using graphical modeling languages that support specification, analysis, design

Noncontact measurement of charge carrier lifetime and mobility in GaN nanowires

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher M. Dodson, Patrick Parkinson, Kristine A. Bertness, Hannah J. Joyce, Laura M. Herz, Norman Sanford, Michael B. Johnston
The first noncontact photoconductivity measurements of gallium nitride nanowires (NWs) are presented, revealing a high crystallographic and optoelectronic quality achieved by use of catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy. In comparison with bulk material

Service Life Prediction for Sealants

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Donald L. Hunston, Kar T. Tan
Previous industry consensus postulated that four elements of the weather: Temperature, Humidity, Ultraviolet Radiation, and Mechanical loading were responsible for the majority of the changes observed in sealants exposed to outdoor weathering. The NIST

Simulating Quantum Magnetism with Correlated Non-Neutral Ion Plasmas

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
John J. Bollinger, Joseph W. Britton, Brian C. Sawyer
By employing forces which depend on the internal atomic state (or spin) of an atomic ion, the Coulomb potential energy of a strongly coupled array of ions can be modified in a spin-dependent way to mimic effective quantum spin Hamiltonians. Both

The TriTon Transformation

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel C. Smith-Tone
Many new systems have been proposed which hide an easily invertible multivariate quadratic map in a larger structure by adding more variables and introducing some mixing of a random component to the structured system. While many systems which have been

Vertically Segregated Structure and Properties of small molecule-polymer blend semiconductors for organic thin film transistors

August 27, 2012
Author(s)
Nayool Shin, Dean DeLongchamp, Jihoon Kang, Regis J. Kline, Lee J. Richter, Vivek Prabhu, Balaji Purushothamanc, John E. Anthony, Do Y. Yoon
The phase-segregated structure and the electrical properties of thin film blends of the small-molecule semiconductor fluorinated 5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl) anthradithiophene with insulating binder polymers were studied for organic thin film transistor

3D Precision Imaging with a Terahertz-bandwidth, Comb-calibrated Swept Laser

August 26, 2012
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Ian R. Coddington, Kevin O. Knabe, Laura C. Sinclair, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A frequency-comb and MEMS-based external-cavity laser are integrated into a THz-bandwidth LIDAR system. Range to a diffuse target is measured at sub-msec update times, a comb-based precision/accuracy of 100 nm, and a resolution of 150 microns. Example 3D

Coherent Diabatic Ion Transport and Separation in a Multizone Trap Array

August 24, 2012
Author(s)
Ryan S. Bowler, John P. Gaebler, Yiheng Lin, Ting Rei Tan, David Hanneke, John D. Jost, J. Home, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
We investigate ion motion dynamics during the transport between and separation into spatially distinct trap locations in a multi-zone trap array. We laser-cool a single $\ensuremath{^{9}{\rm {Be}^{+}}}$ ion held in a linear Paul trap to near its ground

Microwave Measurements and Systematic Circuit-Model Extraction of Nanowire Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors
