AlGaN Schottky Diodes for Short-Wavelength UV Applications

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
P P. Chow, J J. Klaassen, Robert E. Vest, J M. VanHove, A Wowchak, C Polley
High performance ultraviolet (UV) detectors have been fabricated using plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The realized AlGaN Schottky detectors exhibit high responsivity, sharp spectral cutoff and high shunt resistance of several giga-ohns for 0

Extreme Ultraviolet Metrology at SURF III

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Charles S. Tarrio, Robert E. Vest, S Grantham, Thomas B. Lucatorto
The last two decades have seen the development normal-incidence multiplayer mirrors and semiconductor photodiodes for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. Applications such as in astrophysics, lithography, and plasma physics, require precise calibrations

NIST Programs for Calibrations in the Far Ultraviolet Spectral Region

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
Robert E. Vest, L R. Canfield, Mitchell L. Furst, R M. Graves, A D. Hamilton, L R. Hughey, Thomas B. Lucatorto, R P. Madden
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) serves the growing ultraviolet user community by providing calibration services throughout the spectral range from 2 nm to 400 nm. In this paper we describe the far ultraviolet transfer standard

SURF III - A New Electron Storage Ring at NIST

October 15, 1999

R A. Bosch, D E. Eisert, Mitchell L. Furst, R M. Graves, L Greenler, A D. Hamilton, L R. Hughey, R P. Madden, P Robl, Ping-Shine Shaw, W S. Trzeciak, Robert E. Vest, D Wahl
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), has operated the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF), based on an electron accelerator, continuously since the early 1960's. SURF I

The Conversion of SURF II to SURF III

April 2, 1999
Author(s)
Mitchell L. Furst, R M. Graves, A D. Hamilton, L R. Hughey, R P. Madden, Robert E. Vest, W S. Trzeciak, L Greenler, P Robl, D Wahl
The Electron and Optical Physics Division of the Physics Laboratory has operated the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for over 30 years. Initially operated in a parasitic mode at

Absolute Silicon Photodiodes for 160 nm to 254 nm Photons

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
L R. Canfield, Robert E. Vest, R Korde, H Schmidtke, R Desor
Silicon n-on-p photodiodes with 100% internal efficiency have been studied in the 160 nm to 254 nm range. Preliminary values for the quantum yield of silicon, a fundamantal property, are determined. Using these values, a trap detector for absolute flux
