Tunable mid-infrared generation via wide-band four-wave mixing in silicon nitride waveguides

August 27, 2018
Author(s)
Abijith S. Kowligy, Daniel D. Hickstein, Alexander Lind, David Carlson, Henry R. Timmers, Nima Nader, Daniel Maser, Daron Westly, Kartik Srinivasan, Scott Papp, Scott Diddams
We demonstrate wide-band frequency down-conversion to the mid-infrared (MIR) using four-wave mixing (FWM) of near-infrared (NIR) femtosecond-duration pulses from an Er:fiber laser, corresponding to 100 THz spectral translation. Photonic-chip-based silicon

Christopher L. Holloway, Matt Simons, Josh Gordon
We are developing a fundamentally new atom-based approach for electric (E) field measurements. This new approach will lead to a self-calibrated, SI traceable, E-field measurement, and has the capability to perform measurements on a fine spatial resolution

The intrinsic irreversible strain limit εirr,0 of Nb3Sn superconducting wires, made by the restacked-rod process and doped with either Ti or Ta, undergoes a precipitous change as a function of temperature /theta of the final heat-treatment for forming the

SELF-IMPROVING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

August 26, 2018
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Zhuo Yang, Douglas Eddy, Sundar Krishnamurty
The current AM development environment is far from being mature. Both software applications and workflow management tools are very limited due to the lack of knowledge to support engineering decision makings. AM knowledge includes design rules, operation

Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Evan K. Wallace, Dimitris Kiritsis, Barry Smith, Chris Will
The current industrial revolution is said to be driven by the digitization of manu-facturing that exploits connected information across all aspects of manufacturing. Standards have been recognized as an important enabler. Ontology is the next generation

A SUPER-METAMODELLING FRAMEWORK TO OPTIMIZE SYSTEM PREDICTABILITY

August 25, 2018
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Douglas Eddy, Sundar Krishnamurty, Ian Grosse
Statistical metamodels can robustly predict manufacturing process and engineering systems design results. Various techniques, such as Kriging, polynomial regression, artificial neural network and others, are each best suited for different scenarios that

Christopher Gutierrez, Daniel T. Walkup, Fereshte Ghahari Kermani, Cyprian Lewandowski, Joaquin R. Nieva, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Leonid Levitov, Nikolai Zhitenev, Joseph A. Stroscio
Interactions amongst relativistic particles underpin exotic behaviours in diverse systems ranging from quark-gluon plasmas to Dirac electron fluids in solids. Despite long-standing interest, direct observation of quantum-relativistic matter under ambient

Measurement units as quantities of objects or values of quantities: a discussion

August 24, 2018
Author(s)
Charles D. Ehrlich, Leslie R. Pendrill, Luca Mari
Measurement units have historically been defined as quantities (specific properties) of objects, such as the mass of a particular piece of metal or the length of a particular rod. While the current SI Brochure endorses this position, the draft 9th SI

Phase Modulators Based on High Mobility Ambipolar ReSe2 Field-Effect Transistors

August 24, 2018
Author(s)
Nihar Pradhan, Carlos Garcia, Bridget Isenberg, Daniel Rhodes, Simin Feng, Shariar Memaran, Yan Xin, Amber McCreary, Angela R. Hight Walker, Aldo Raeliarijaona, Humberto Terrones, Mauricio Terrones, Steve McGill, Luis Balicas
We fabricated ambipolar field-effect transistors (FETs) from multi-layered triclinic ReSe2, mechanically exfoliated onto a SiO2 layer grown on p-doped Si. In contrast to previous reports on thin layers (2 to 3 layers), we extract field-effect carrier

Conference Report: Representing Ethnic Diversity for Precision Medicine

August 23, 2018
Author(s)
Justin M. Zook, Luke Hickey, Benedict Paten, Robert Sebra, Valerie Schneider
There is a pressing need to better represent ethnic diversity with genomic resources — and to do so in a way that maximizes utility for people working with the Genome Reference Consortium’s human reference genome. That was the theme of a panel discussion
