Suppression of excess noise in transition-edge sensors using magnetic field and geometry

December 17, 2003

Joel N. Ullom, William B. Doriese, Gene C. Hilton, James A. Beall, Steven Deiker, Kent D. Irwin, Carl D. Reintsema, Leila R. Vale, Yizi Xu
We report recent progress at NIST on Mo/Cu Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs). While the signal- band noise of our sensors agrees with theory, we observe excess high-frequency noise. We describe this noise and demonstrate that it can be heavily suppressed by a

The Advanced Technology Solar Spectroscopic Imager (ATSSI) - a Novel Experiment Employing a Transition-Edge Sensor to Probe the Soft X-Ray Solar Corona

P F. Boerner, D S. Martinez-Galarce, K Wamba, B. Cabrera, Steven Deiker, Kent D. Irwin, T W. Barbee, P F. Baker
The Advanced Technology Solar Spectroscopic Imager (ATSSI) is a sounding rocket-borne experiment that will employ a Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) placed at the focus of a Wolter-I mirror to study large active region loops in the solar corona. The TES

A 420 MHz Cr:forsterite Femtosecond Ring Laser and Its Use for Continuum Generation in the 1-2 Micron Range

I Thomann, A Bartels, Kristan L. Corwin, Nathan R. Newbury, Leo W. Hollberg, Scott Diddams, Jeffrey W. Nicholson, M. F. Yan
We demonstrate a chromium-doped forsterite femtosecond ring laser that generates 30-fs pulses at a 420-MHz repetition rate with nearly 500 mW of average power. The compact solid-state design and broad spectral output make this laser attractive for

Electrical metrology with single electrons

July 16, 2003
Author(s)
Neil M. Zimmerman, Mark W. Keller
This paper is mostly a review of the progress made at NIST in pursuing a capacitance standard based on the charge of the electron. We briefly introduce the Coulomb blockade, which is the basic physical phenomenon allowing control of single electrons

MOBY, A Radiometric Buoy for Performance Monitoring and Vicarious Calibration of Satellite Ocean Color Sensors: Measurement and Data Analysis Protocols

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
D K. Clark, Marilyn Y. Murphy, M Yarbrough, M Feinholz, S Flora, W Broenkow, B. Carol Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Y S. Kim, J Mueller
The Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) (Clark et al. 1997) is the centerpiece of the primary ocean measurement site for calibration of satellite ocean color sensors based on independent in situ measurements. Since late 1996, the time series of normalized water

A statistical model for cladding diameter of optical fibres

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
C. M. Wang, Timothy J. Drapela
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a contact micrometer for accurate measurement of the outer diameter of optical fibres. The contact micrometer is used to measure reference fibres that are artefacts used by the

High-accuracy determination of the dependence of the photoluminescence emission energy on alloy composition in Al x Ga 1-x As films

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
Larry Robins, J T. Armstrong, Ryna B. Marinenko, Albert J. Paul, John Pellegrino, Kristine A. Bertness
In an effort to improve the accuracy of photoluminescence (PL) measurements of the Al mole fraction (x) of Al xGa 1-xAs alloys, the PL peak emission energy, E PL,peak, was measured at room temperature for molecular-beam epitaxy-grown Al xGa 1-xAs films
