Analysis of High-Resolution Infrared and N 1 CARS Spectra of 34 S 18 O 3

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Tony Masiello, J Barber, E T. Chrysostom, J Nibler, A G. Maki, A Weber, Thomas A. Blake, R L. Sams
Three fundamental modes and several hot bands of 34S 18O 3 have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS). Coriolis coupling effects are particularly noticeable in 34S 18O 3 due to the

Extending the Notion of Quality from Physical Metrology to Information and Sustainability

July 30, 2008
Author(s)
Gaurav Ameta, Sudarsan Rachuri, Xenia Fiorentini, Mahesh Mani, Steven J. Fenves, Kevin W. Lyons, Ram D. Sriram
In this paper we intend to demonstrate the need for extending the notion of quality from the physical domain to information and, more comprehensively, to sustainability. In physical metrology there are well established principles such as fundamental units

Dedication to Richard D. Deslattes

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
Ernest G. Kessler, Gabrielle G. Long
On May 16, 2001, the National Institute of Standards and Technology lost a most illustrious career scientist in x-ray research. This volume is dedicated to honor the memory of Richard D. Deslattes and his lifetime of achievments at NIST. Deslattes'

Migdall Responds II: More Correlated Photon Metrology History

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
Alan L. Migdall
I appreciate the comments of Mike Gruntman (Sept., page 80) concerning the history of using correlated pairs of particles(photons) to determine absolute detector quantum efficiencies. Unfortunately there is an overall misunderstanding of the technique

Towards entangled photon pair generation from SiC-based microring resonator

October 4, 2022
Author(s)
Anouar Rahmouni, Lijun Ma, Xiao Tang, Thomas Gerrits, Lutong Cai, Qing Li, Oliver T. Slattery
Entangled photon sources are fundamental building blocks for quantum communication and quantum networks. Recently, silicon carbide emerged as a promising material for integrated quantum devices since it is CMOS compatible with favorable mechanical

The Expanding Role of National Metrology Institutes in the Quantum Era

July 12, 2022
Author(s)
Alexander Tzalenchuk, Nicolas Spethmann, Tim Prior, Jay H. Hendricks, Yijie Pan, Vladimir Bubanja, Guilherme Temporao, Dai-Hyuk Yu, Damir Ilic, Barbara L. Goldstein
Now that all base units are defined in terms of fundamental constants and can thus — at least in principle — be realized anytime and anywhere, rather than through a measurement chain leading back to unique physical artefacts, who holds the traceability

NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework: Volume 7, Standards Roadmap

October 21, 2019
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang, Russell Reinsch, David Boyd, Carl Buffington
While opportunities exist with Big Data, the data can overwhelm traditional technical approaches. To advance progress in Big Data, the NIST Big Data Public Working Group (NBD-PWG) is working to develop consensus on important, fundamental concepts related

Parametric resonance in linear microresonators using analog feedback

January 21, 2018
Author(s)
Jason J. Gorman, Vikrant J. Gokhale
This paper reports on the design and implementation of an analog feedback controller for generating parametric resonance in linear microresonators that do not intrinsically demonstrate this phenomenon. It is shown that the controller produces a fundamental

Troubleshooting Liquid Chromatographic Instrumentation and Methods

January 12, 2017
Author(s)
Lane C. Sander
The ability to assess analytical performance is a fundamental component of measurement science. Ultimately, measurement quality depends on the proper function of instrumentation in combination with appropriate methods. Evidence of proper function is

On-Chip Silicon Waveguide Bragg Grating Photonic Temperature Sensor

August 4, 2015
Author(s)
Nikolai Klimov, Sunil Mittal, Zeeshan Ahmed, Michaela Berger
Resistance thermometry is a time-tested method for temperature measurements. Fundamental limits to resistance-based approaches, spurred our interest in developing photonic temperature sensors as a viable alternative. In this study we demonstrate that our

Absolute spectroscopy of N2O near 4.5 um with a comb-calibrated, frequency-swept quantum cascade laser spectrometer

January 14, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin O. Knabe, Paul A. Williams, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, Michael Radunsky, Chris Armacost, Sam Crivello, Nathan R. Newbury
We present absolute line center frequencies for 24 fundamental nu-3 ro-vibrational P-branch transitions near 4.5 um in N2O with an absolute frequency uncertainty of 800 kHz. The spectra were acquired with a swept laser spectrometer consisting of an

SHREC12 Track: Generic 3D Shape Retrieval

May 13, 2012
Author(s)
Bo Li, Afzal A. Godil
Generic 3D shape retrieval is a fundamental research area in the field of content-based 3D model retrieval. The aim of this track is to measure and compare the performance of generic 3D shape retrieval methods implemented by different participants over the

Estimating Common Parameters in Heterogeneous Random Effects Models

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
A question of fundamental importance for meta-analysis of heterogeneous data studies is how to form a best consensus estimator of common parameters, and what uncertainty to attach to the estimate. This issue is addressed for a class of unbalanced linear

Observation of Quantum Destructive Interference in Inelastic Two-Wave Mixing

February 23, 2007
Author(s)
Kaijun Jiang, Lu Deng, Marvin G. Payne
Using room-temperature 87Rb atoms we demonstrate a quantum destructive interference between two one-photon excitation pathways in an inelastic two-wave mixing scheme that corresponds to the strong-storage and weak-regeneration regime. This destructive
