The volume fraction of metallic and semiconducting carbon single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs)hasbeen estimated for purified laser vaporization SWNTs, from an effective medium approximation and the measured spectral responsivity of a LiTaO 3 pyroelectric detector

Improved Thermal Detector Coatings for Laser Radiometry at NIST

February 27, 2006
Author(s)
John H. Lehman
Nearly all of the radiometric standards for laser power and energy measurements at NIST and elsewhere in the world are based on thermal detectors. These detectors usually rely on a thermal absorber coating to enhance the detector responsivity. Ideally the

February 27, 2006
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Christopher L. Cromer, Marla L. Dowell
High accuracy laser radiometry is on the verge of significant improvements just as new laser technologies are evolving. Our present tasks are directed toward anticipating and meeting the measurement needs in two areas; higher power and shorter wavelengths

Characterization of Carbon Nanotube Purity Using a Quartz Sensor Platform

John H. Lehman
Nearly all of the radiometric standards for laser power and energy measurements at NIST and elsewhere in the world are based on thermal detectors. These detectors usually rely on a thermal absorber coating to enhance the detector responsivity. Ideally the

Dielectric function of carbon nanotube coated thermal detectors

November 14, 2005
Author(s)
John H. Lehman
The absolute responsivity of a thermal detector depends on its absorption efficiency as a function of wavelength. We present experiments and document the results for carbon nanotube (CNT) based coatings for thermal detectors. The results indicate that the
