Quantum receiver for large alphabet communication

February 21, 2018
Author(s)
Sergey Polyakov, Ivan Burenkov, Olga Tikhonova
Quantum mechanics allows measurements that surpass the fundamental sensitivity limits of classical methods. To benefit from the quantum advantage in a practical setting, the receiver should use communication channel resources optimally; this can be done

Assessing Effects of Asymmetries, Dynamics, and Failures on a Cloud Simulator

March 29, 2015
Author(s)
Kevin L. Mills, James J. Filliben, Christopher E. Dabrowski
We characterize the effects of asymmetries, dynamics, and failures when introduced into a cloud computing simulator, which had previously been characterized under static, homogeneous configurations with various patterns of demand and supply. We aim to

The Pan-STARRS1 Photometric System

May 10, 2012
Author(s)
J. L. Tonry, Christopher W. Stubbs, Keith R. Lykke, Peter Doherty, I. S. Shivvers, W. S. Burgett, K. C. Chambers, K. W. Hodapp, N. Kaiser, R -. Kudritzki, E. A. Magnier, J. S. Morgan, P. A. Price, R. J. Wainscoat
The Pan-STARRS1 survey is collecting multi-epoch, multi-color observations of the sky north of declination −30 to unprecedented depths. These data are being photometrically and astrometrically calibrated and will serve as a reference for many other

High-stability transfer of an optical frequency over long fiber-optic links

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Paul A. Williams, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
We present theoretical predictions and experimental measurements for the achievable phase noise, timing jitter, and frequency stability in the coherent transport of an optical frequency over a fiber-optic link. Both technical and fundamental limitations to

NIST Program to Support Testing and Evaluation of Trace Explosive Detection

October 1, 2007
Author(s)
R M. Verkouteren, John G. Gillen, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, Robert A. Fletcher, Eric S. Windsor, Wayne Smith
Trace detection is a primary strategy for thwarting terrorism activities in the US and abroad. The development of effective reference materials and methods for this purpose relies on fundamental knowledge regarding the size, mass, morphologies, and

Form of Deprotection in Chemically Amplified Resists

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Ronald L. Jones, T J. Hu, Vivek M. Prabhu, Christopher L. Soles, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, D L. Goldfarb, M Angelopoulos
The push to mass production of patterns with sub-100 nm dimensions will require nanometer level control of feature size, including line edge roughness (LER). Control of LER and sidewall roughness within the length scale of individual molecules requires a

Electron Collision Cross Sections Derived from Critically Assessed Data

July 1, 1999
Author(s)
Loucas G. Christophorou, James K. Olthoff
Electron-molecule collisions are among the most fundamental processes in gas discharges. They are also the precursors of the ions and the radicals which drive the etch, cleaning, or deposition processes in plasma reactors. Hence, there is a need for a

Spectrum and Energy Levels of the Nd 4+ Free Ion (Nd V)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Ali Meftah, J-F Wyart, Jocelyne Sinzelle, Wan-U Lydia Tchang-Brillet, Norbert Champion, Nissan Spector, J Sugar
The spectrum of neodymium excited by a sliding spark source was photographed on two vacuum ultraviolet normal-incidence spectrographs. About 250 lines attributed to Nd V, hitherto unknown, have been identified. The analysis of this spectrum established all

John T. Elliott, Matthias Roesslein, Nam W. Song, Blaza Toman, Agnieszka Kinsner-Ovaskainen, Rawiwan Maniratanachote, Marc L. Salit, Elijah J. Petersen, Fatima Sequeira, Jieun Lee, Francois Rossi, Cordula Hirsch, Harald Krug, Wongsakorn Suchaoin, Peter Wick
Design and development of reliable cell-based nanotoxicology assays is important for ranking of potential hazardous engineered nanomaterials. Challenges to producing a reliable assay protocol include working with nanoparticle dispersions and living cell

Two Applications of Small Feature Dimensional Measurements on a CMM with a Fiber Probe

September 4, 2013
Author(s)
Eric S. Stanfield, Bala Muralikrishnan, Theodore D. Doiron, Xiaoyu Alan Zheng, Shahram Orandi, david Duquette
We describe two interesting applications of dimensional measurements performed using a contact fiber probe on a commercial Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Both examples involve artifacts that serve as material standards and contain features in the 100

Scaling studies with the dual crystal spectrometer at the OMEGA-EP laser facility

October 26, 2010
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C.I Szabo, J. Workman, K. Flippo, Uri Feldman, Albert Henins
The dual crystal spectrometer (DCS) is an approved diagnostic at the OMEGA and the OMEGA-EP laser facilities for the measurement of high energy x-rays in the 11 90 keV energy range, e.g., for verification of the x-ray spectrum of backlighter targets of

Explanation of (hhl) f Habit Planes in Ferrous Alloys

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H M. Ledbetter, Martin Dunn
We give a possible explanation of the remarkable habit-plane measurements reported by Kajiwara for Fe-Ni-Mn alloys. Examining small, thin (early-stage), martensite plates, Kajiwara found that all habit-plane normals fall on the (hhl)f line, spanning about
