Cell-based refractometer for pascal realization

July 24, 2017
Author(s)
Patrick F. Egan, Jack A. Stone Jr., Jacob E. Ricker, Jay H. Hendricks, Gregory F. Strouse
We describe a method for determining density of helium via measurements of optical refractivity. In combination with the equation of state, this allows realization of the pascal. Our apparatus is based on the integration of a gas triple-cell into a quasi

Susan Tai, Michael Nelson, Brian Lang, Karen W. Phinney, Lane C. Sander, James H. Yen, J. M. Betz, Christopher T. Sempos, Stephen Wise
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements (NIH-ODS) and the Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP), has recently issued a new serum-matrix Standard

Nonreciprocal Magnons and Symmetry-Breaking in the Noncentrosymmetric Antiffomagnet

July 24, 2017
Author(s)
G. Gitgeatpong, Yang Zhao, P. Piyawongwatthana, Yiming Qiu, Leland Harriger, Nicholas Butch, T. J. Sato, K. Matan
Magnons, the spin-wave quanta, are disturbances that embody a wave propagating through a back-ground medium formed by ordered magnetic moments. In an isotropic Heisenberg system, these disturbances vary in a continuous manner around an ordered spin

Photonic-Chip Supercontinuum with Tailored Spectra for Counting Optical Frequencies

David R. Carlson, Daniel D. Hickstein, Alexander J. Lind, Judith B. Olson, Richard W. Fox, Roger C. Brown, Andrew D. Ludlow, Qing Li, Daron A. Westly, Tara M. Fortier, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
Supercontinuum generation using chip-integrated photonic waveguides is a powerful approach for spectrally broadening pulsed laser sources with very low pulse energies and compact form factors. When pumped with a mode-locked laser frequency comb, these

Switching Between Giant Positive and Negative Thermal Expansions of a YFe(CN) 6 -Based Prussian Blue Analogue Induced by Guest Species

Qilong Gao, Jun Chen, Qiang Sun, Dahu Chang, Qingzhen Huang, Hui Wu, Andrea Sanson, Ruggero Milazzo, He Zhu, Qiang Li, Zhanning Liu, Jinxia Deng, Xianran Xing
The control of thermal expansion of solid compounds is intriguing but remains challenge. In this study, we investigate the effect of guests on the thermal expansion of open-framework structures. It is interesting to observe that the presence of guest ions

Ultrabroadband Supercontinuum Generation and Frequency-Comb Stabilization Using On-Chip Waveguides with Both Cubic and Quadratic Nonlinearities

July 24, 2017

Daniel D. Hickstein, Hojoong Jung, David R. Carlson, Alexander J. Lind, Ian R. Coddington, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Gabriel G. Ycas, Daniel C. Cole, Abijith S. Kowligy, Stefan Droste, Erin S. Lamb, Nathan R. Newbury, Hong X. Tang, Scott A. Diddams, Scott B. Papp
Using aluminum-nitride photonic-chip waveguides, we generate optical frequency comb supercontinuum spanning 500~nm to 4000~nm, and show that the spectrum can be widely tailored by changing the geometry of the waveguide. Since aluminum nitride exhibits both
