Analysis of Uncertainties in Stray-Light Correction

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Yuqin Zong
Measurement errors arising from stray light within a spectroradiometer are often the dominant source of uncertainty and are difficult to reduce. However, the stray-light errors can be corrected by using a stray-light correction matrix that is derived from

Characterization of high-purity, pulsed squeezed light at telecom wavelengths from pp-KTP for quantum information applications

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Burm Baek, Martin J. Stevens, Brice R. Calkins, Adriana E. Lita, Scott C. Glancy, Emanuel H. Knill, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin, Robert Hadfield, Ryan Bennink, Warren Grice, Sander N. Dorenbos, Tony Zijlstra, Teun Klapwijk, Val Zwiller
Pure optical squeezing in a single mode is highly desirable for quantum information applications such as continuous variable quantum computing and the generation of optical Schrödinger cat states. To generate optical cat states, photons are subtracted from

Derivation of Isosceles Trapezoidal Distribution

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Raghu N. Kacker, James F. Lawrence
It is known that, if the mid-point of a rectangular distribution is specified, the half-width is inexactly known, and the state of knowledge about the half-width may be represented by a narrower rectangular distribution then the resulting distribution

Designing Sustainable Products, Services and Manufacturing Systems

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Amaresh Chakrabarti, Sudarsan Rachuri, Prabir Sarkar, Srinivas Kota
This book is based on an anthology of papers from experts from the United States and India, along with a summary of focused discussions and suggestions in several areas of critical importance within the broad topic of sustainability in development of

From the Editor's Desk: A Little Friendly Competition

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Catherine A. Remley
This is an Editorial for the December, 2010 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine. Kate Remley, the Editor-in-Chief, writes about timely topics for the members of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S).

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTED LED RADIANCE RELATED TO PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SAFETY

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Tongsheng Mou, Yuqin Zong, Yoshi Ohno
Optical radiation safety of light-emitting diode (LED) products is being addressed in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard document 62471-2006. Measurement of weighted radiance of LEDs, used to assess the maximal exposure related to

Modeling Smoldering Fires using the Computer Model CONTAM

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
William D. Davis
The computer model CONTAM was used to simulate the spread of smoke in a house with a working furnace during smoldering fires. Three smoldering experiments from a study on detector sensitivity and siting requirements conducted in 1975 using a two story

SANS from Pluronic P85 in d-water

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Boualem Hammouda
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) has been used to investigate pluronic P85 (EO 26PO 40EO 26) copolymer in deuterated water. A range of P85 fractions were measured for a wide sample temperature window. A rich phase behavior is reported. Unimers were

The Effect of Substrate Material on Silver Nanoparticle Antimicrobial Efficacy

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Benita Dair, Dave M. Saylor, T. E. Cargal, Grace R. French, Kristen M. Kennedy, Rachel S. Casas, Jonathan E. Guyer, James A. Warren, Steven K. Pollack
With the advent of Nanotechnology, silver nanoparticles increasingly are being used in coatings, especially in medical device applications, to capitalize on their antimicrobial properties. The increased antimicrobial efficacy of nanoparticulate silver

The Role of High-Field Stress in the Negative Bias Temperature Instability

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, Kin P. Cheung, John S. Suehle, A Oates
In this study, a fast drain current measurement methodology which supports the standard threshold voltage and transconductance extractions associated with the fast dynamic negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) is presented. Using this methodology

US Anti-Counterfeiting Standards Development Activities: An Overview

December 1, 2010
Author(s)
Yaw S. Obeng, Eric D. Simmon, YaShian Li-Baboud
Counterfeit electronics components impact performance, hence can be viewed as a reliability concern. Several different strategies have been proposed to mitigate the penetration and impact of counterfeits on the supply chain. Standards afford effective

A review of fatigue crack growth for pipeline steels exposed to hydrogen

November 30, 2010
Author(s)
Nicholas Nanninga, Andrew J. Slifka, Yaakov Levy, Calvin L. White
Hydrogen pipeline systems offer an economical means of storing and transporting energy in the form of hydrogen gas. Pipelines can be used to transport hydrogen that has been generated at solar and wind farms to and from salt cavern storage locations. In

Broadband Measurements of Nanofiber Devices: Repeatability and Random Error Analysis

November 30, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas M. Wallis, Atif A. Imtiaz, SangHyun S. Lim, Pavel Kabos, Kichul Kim, Paul Rice, Dejan Filipovic
On-wafer, broadband measurements of two-port nanofiber devices were made in order to test the short-term repeatability of a widely used measurement approach that builds on established on-wafer calibration techniques. The test devices used in this study
