Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

May 1, 2011
Author(s)
Karl Berggren, Vikas Anant, Burm Baek, E Dauler, X Hu, Andrew J. Kerman, F Marsili, Richard Mirin, Richard J. Molnar, Sae Woo Nam, F Najafi, Martin Stevens, F Wong, Tian Zhong
Existing Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector (SNSPD) technology achieves simultaneously high device detection efficiency (as high as 57% at 1550 nm optical wavelength [1]), ultrashort jitter performance (30 ps), and a fast reset time ( 3 ns)

The Impact of Dispersion on Amplitude and Frequency Noise in a Yb-fiber Laser Comb

May 1, 2011
Author(s)
Lora L. Nugent-Glandorf, Todd Johnson, Yohei Kobayashi, Scott A. Diddams
We describe a Yb-fiber based laser comb, with a focus on the relationship between net cavity dispersion and the amplitude noise and frequency noise on the comb. While tuning the net cavity dispersion from anomalous to normal, we measure the amplitude noise

Third-order antibunching from an imperfect single-photon source

May 1, 2011
Author(s)
Martin J. Stevens, Scott C. Glancy, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin
We measure second- and third-order coherences of an imperfect single-photon source. The magnitude of third-order antibunching indicates that imperfect second-order antibunching results from background emission with Poissonian photon number statistics.

Energetic Photon Spectra from Targets Irradiated by Picoseconds Lasers

April 30, 2011
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, John F. Seely, Csilla Szabo, Uri Feldman, Hui Chen, Albert Henins
Photon spectra in the energy range 60 keV to 1 MeV were recorded from targets irradiated by the LLNL Titan and LLE EP picosecond lasers. The radiation consisted of K shell radiation, Bremsstrahlung radiation from MeV electrons, and preliminary evidence for

BIOS Protection Guidelines

April 29, 2011
Author(s)
David Cooper, William Polk, Andrew Regenscheid, Murugiah Souppaya
This document provides guidelines for preventing the unauthorized modification of Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware on PC client systems. Unauthorized modification of BIOS firmware by malicious software constitutes a significant threat because of

Micro Cryogenic Coolers for IR Imaging

April 29, 2011
Author(s)
Ryan J. Lewis, Yunda Wang, Jill Cooper, Mu Hong Lin, Victor M. Bright, Yung-Cheng Lee, Peter E. Bradley, Ray Radebaugh, Marcia L. Huber
Joule-Thomson micro cryogenic coolers (MCCs) are a preferred approach for small and low power cryocoolers. With the same heat lift, MCC's power input can be only 1/10 of a thermoelectric cooler's input, and MCC's size can be only 1/10 of a Stirling cooler

Microresonator based optical frequency combs

April 29, 2011
Author(s)
Scott A. Diddams, T. J. Klippenberg
Optical frequency combs based on mode-locked laser sources have provided unprecedented measurement capabilities for optical frequencies, enabling new applications in a wide range of topics that include atomic clocks, ultracold gases, molecular

NIST Handbook 150-17, NVLAP Cryptographic and Security Testing

April 29, 2011
Author(s)
Dana S. Leaman
NIST Handbook 150-17 presents technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Cryptogrpahic and Security Testing program. It is intended for information and use

Rheological Characterization of Flow Table Reference Material

April 29, 2011
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Haleh Azari
The flow table is a standardized test that is widely used to qualify a mortar to be tested for compressive strength and air content. It is also the only standard test to quantify a mortar workability property. Therefore, the calibration of this device is

Selective Adsorption of CO2 from Light Gas Mixtures Using a Structurally Dynamic Porous Coordination Polymer

April 29, 2011
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Andrew J. Allen, Laura Espinal, Kristi L. Kauffman, Jeffrey T. Culp, Angela Goodman, Thomas G. Brown, Mark P. Bernardo, Russel J. Pancoast, Danielle Chirdon, Christopher Matranga
The selective adsorption of CO2 from binary mixtures of N2 and CH4 was investigated using a structurally dynamic porous coordination polymer, catena-bis(dibenzoylmethanato)-(4,4’bipyridyl)nickel (II), ‘NiDBM-Bpy’, as the separation sorbent. A third gas

Conformer-specific vibronic spectroscopy and vibronic coupling in a flexible bichromophore: bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane

April 28, 2011
Author(s)
Chirantha P. Rodrigo, Christian Muller, Nathan Pillsbury, William H. James III, David F. Plusquellic, Timothy Zwier
The vibronic spectroscopy of jet-cooled bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane (b4HPM) has been explored using fluorescence excitation (FE), dispersed fluorescence (DFL), UV-UV holeburning (UVHB), UV depletion (UVD), and fluorescence-dip infrared (FDIR)

NIST Handbook 150-8, NVLAP Acoustical Testing Services

April 28, 2011
Author(s)
Betty A. Sandoval
NIST Handbook 150-8 presents technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) acoustical testing services program. It is intended for information and use by

Preliminary Investigation of Polarization Effects During Metal Cutting

April 28, 2011
Author(s)
Eric P. Whitenton
Under certain conditions, the polarization state of infrared light emitted by metal changes when the metal is strained. During cutting, metal is severely strained. Assessing both strain and strain rate is of interest to the metal cutting research community

Toward Privacy Standards Based on Empirical Studies

April 28, 2011
Author(s)
Serge M. Egelman, Erika McCallister
In this paper, we argue that if privacy standards are created to guide “do-not-track” technologies, it is imperative that these standards are created with the primary stakeholder in mind: the data subject. Previous privacy and security standards have been

Frequency Up-conversion Single Photon Detectors for Quantum Communication Systems

April 27, 2011
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang, Joshua Bienfang
Frequency up-conversion technology can be used to increase detection efficiency for near infrared photons, as has been demonstrated in fiber-based quantum communication systems. In a continuous wave pumped up-conversion detector, the temporal resolution is

High Pressure Viscosity Measurements of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane

April 27, 2011

Arno R. Laesecke, Scott Bair
Viscosity measurements have been carried out with a falling-cylinder instrument in the compressed liquid and supercritical region of the hydrofluorocarbon 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134a). A highly pure sample was used. The measurement region at
