Feasibility of Metrological Traceability Implementation Using the Joint Committee on Traceability in Laboratory Medicine Database Entries Including the Fulfillment of "Fit-for-Purpose" Maximum Allowable Measurement Uncertainty

September 24, 2024
Author(s)
MAURO PANTEGHINI, Johanna Camara, VINCENT DELATOUR, Katleen Van Uytfanghe, Hubert Vesper, Tianjiao Zhang
Background: In previous publications, the Task Force on Reference Measurement System Implementation proposed a procedural approach combining a critical review of entries available in the Joint Committee on Traceability in Laboratory Medicine (JCTLM)

Lambda-enhanced gray molasses in a tetrahedral laser beam geometry

March 14, 2022
Author(s)
Daniel Barker, Eric Norrgard, Nikolai Klimov, James A. Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt, Stephen Eckel
We report observation of sub-Doppler cooling of lithium using an irregular-tetrahedral laser beam arrangement, which is produced by a nanofabricated diffraction grating. We are able to capture 11(2) % of the lithium atoms from a grating magneto-optical

Characterizing Frequency Stability Measurements having Multiple Data Gaps

February 2, 2022
Author(s)
David A. Howe, Noah Schlossberger
Time series measurements with data gaps (dead times) prevent accurate computations of frequency variances such as the Allan variance (AVAR) and its square-root ADEV. To extract frequency distributions, data must be sequentially ordered and equally spaced

A single-beam slower and magneto-optical trap using a nanofabricated grating

June 11, 2019
Author(s)
Daniel S. Barker, Eric B. Norrgard, Nikolai N. Klimov, James A. Fedchak, Julia K. Scherschligt, Stephen P. Eckel
We demonstrate a compact (0.25 L) system for laser cooling and trapping atoms from a heated dispenser source. Our system uses a nano-fabricated diffraction grating to generate a magneto- optical trap (MOT) using a single input laser beam. An aperture in

Challenges to miniaturizing cold atom technology for deployable vacuum metrology

September 14, 2018
Author(s)
Stephen P. Eckel, Daniel S. Barker, James A. Fedchak, Nikolai N. Klimov, Eric B. Norrgard, Julia K. Scherschligt, Constantinos Makrides, Eite Tiesinga
Cold atoms are excellent metrological tools; they currently realize SI time and, soon, SI pressure in the ultra-high (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) regimes. The development of primary, vacuum metrology based on cold atoms currently falls under the

A Faraday-shielded, DC Stark-free optical lattice clock

May 2, 2018
Author(s)
Kyle P. Beloy, Xiaogang Zhang, William F. McGrew, Nathan M. Hinkley, Tai H. Yoon, Daniele Nicolodi, Robert J. Fasano, Stefan A. Schaeffer, Roger C. Brown, Andrew D. Ludlow
We demonstrate the absence of a DC Stark shift in an ytterbium optical lattice clock. Stray electric fields are suppressed through the introduction of an in-vacuum Faraday shield. Still, the effectiveness of the shielding must be experimentally assessed

Electroshock Weapon Measurements

April 12, 2017
Author(s)
Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., David M. Jenkins, Norimitsu Ichikawa
Electroshock weapons (ESWs) are a commonly used tool in the escalation of force arsenal for law enforcement and the military around the world. ESWs function by providing a high-voltage low-current electrical shock that, when discharged into a live

Mass Spectral Library Quality Assurance by Inter-Library Comparison

April 2, 2017
Author(s)
William E. Wallace, Weihua Ji, Dmitrii V. Tchekhovskoi, Karen W. Phinney, Stephen E. Stein
A method to discover and correct errors in mass spectral libraries is described. Comparing across a set of highly curated reference libraries compounds that have the same chemical structure quickly identifies entries that are outliers. In cases where three
