Absolute transition frequencies and quantum interference in a frequency comb based measurement of the 6,7Li D lines

July 6, 2011
Author(s)
Craig J. Sansonetti, Clayton Simien, John D. Gillaspy, Joseph N. Tan, Samuel M. Brewer, Roger C. Brown, Saijun Wu, James V. Porto
Optical frequencies of the D lines of 6,7Li were measured with a relative accuracy of 5x10-11 using an optical comb synthesizer. Quantum interference in the laser induced fluorescence for the partially-resolved D2 lines was found to produce polarization

Use of Phosphor Image Plates for Measuring Intensities in Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectra

January 28, 2011
Author(s)
Gillian Nave, Craig J. Sansonetti, Csilla Szabo, John J. Curry, Darren Smillie
We describe the use of phosphor image plates for recording spectra in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and for determining accurate relative and absolute intensities. We investigated the spatial uniformity, noise level, linearity of the response to VUV light

Progress at NIST in measuring the D-lines of Li isotopes using an optical frequency comb

December 20, 2010

Clayton Simien, Samuel M. Brewer, Joseph N. Tan, John D. Gillaspy, Craig J. Sansonetti
Precise spectroscopic experiments with light atoms can provide information about nuclear properties that are very difficult to obtain in electron scattering experiments. For example, relative nuclear radii of low-Z isotopes can be determined accurately

An optical frequency comb for infrared spectrograph calibration

November 17, 2010
Author(s)
Gabriel G. Ycas, Franklyn J. Quinlan, Steve Osterman, Gillian Nave, Craig J. Sansonetti, Scott A. Diddams
Detection of extrasolar planets by measurement of the stellar radial velocity shift requires high resolution spectroscopy with long term stability. Presently, the primary wavelength standards in the NIR are NePt and ThAr lamps and absorption cells. These

Atomic Data for Lighting Applications

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Gillian Nave, Craig J. Sansonetti, Joseph Reader
A major objective of our research program is the observation of spectra of rare earth elements in support of our program of atomic data measurements for lighting applications. Three years ago, NIST acquired a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer

Infrared Spectrum and Revised Energy Levels for Neutral Krypton

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Craig J. Sansonetti, Marion Greene
We observed the spectrum of neutral krypton (Kr I) in its naturally occurring isotopic mixture as emitted by a microwave-excited electrodeless discharge lamp with the National Institute of Standards and Technology 2-m Fourier transform spectrometer. The

Precise Wavelengths for Fe, Ge and Pt in the Region Near 1935

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Gillian Nave, Craig J. Sansonetti
Wavelengths of seven spectral lines of Fe I, Ge I and Pt I between 1932 and 1938 have been measured with uncertainties of less than 1x10 -4 (5 parts in 10 8) using Fourier transform spectroscopy. These lines provide accurate standards for wavelength

Spectrum of Singly-Ionized Cesium (Cs II)

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Craig J. Sansonetti, K L. Andrew
We measured the spectrum of cesium emitted by a pulsed radio-frequency discharge in the region 1550 to 40 000 using concave grating spectrographs, Fabry-Perot interferometry, and Fourier transform spectroscopy. By varying the operating parameters of the

Observations of Pt/Ne hollow cathode lamps similar to those used on the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph

July 7, 2008
Author(s)
Gillian Nave, Craig J. Sansonetti, S. V. Penton, Nathaniel Cunningham, Matthew Beasley, Steve Osterman, F Kerber, Charles D. Keyes, Michael R. Rosa
We report accelerated aging tests on three Pt/Ne lamps from the same manufacturing run as lamps installed on the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS). One lamp was aged in air at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at a current of 10 mA

X-Ray Induced Fluorescence Measurement of Segregation in a DyI3 Metal-Halide Lamp

April 19, 2007
Author(s)
T Nimalisuriya, John J. Curry, Craig J. Sansonetti, E J. Ridderhof, S Shastri, A J. Flikweert, W W. Stoffels, M Haverlag, J J. van der Mullen
X-ray induced fluorescence measurements, using high energy synchrotron radiation generated on the Sector 1 Insertion Device beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, were performed on a metal-halide lamp containing Hg and DyI$_3}$. Density distributions of
