Keith Forsyth, Aric Sanders, Dan Kuester, Adam Wunderlich
This report documents collection methods for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) radio frequency (RF) recordings of long-term evolution (LTE) uplink emissions from a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) handset in a fully conducted

Decarbonizing the Economy: Circularizing Solar Photovoltaics

May 2, 2024
Author(s)
Nehika Mathur
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) are the fastest growing clean energy technology. As the first generation of solar PVs reach the end of their functional lives, it is becoming clear that unless strategies to manage discarded panels are implemented, we could be

Dissemination of UTC(NIST) over 20 km of commercial optical fiber with active phase stabilization

May 2, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob VanArsdale, Matthew J. Deutch, Michael A. Lombardi, Glenn Nelson, Jeffrey Sherman, James Spicer, William Yates, Dylan Yost, Samuel Brewer
We demonstrate the transfer of a cesium frequency standard steered to UTC(NIST) over 20 km of dark telecom optical fiber. Our dissemination scheme uses an active stabilization technique with a phase-locked voltage-controlled oscillator. Out-of-loop

Synchronized source of indistinguishable photons for quantum networks

Author(s)
Nijil Lal Cheriya Koyyottummal, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Paulina Kuo, Thomas Gerrits, Oliver T. Slattery, Sergey Polyakov
We present a source of indistinguishable photons at telecom wavelength, synchronized to an external clock, for the use in distributed quantum networks. We characterize the indistinguishability of photons generated in independent parametric down-conversion

Understanding the Origin and Implication of the Indirect-to-Direct Bandgap Transition in Multilayer InSe

May 2, 2024
Author(s)
Nicholas Pike, Ruth Pachter, Michael Altvater, Chris Stevens, Matthew Klein, Joshua Hendrickson, Huairuo Zhang, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Nicholas Glavin
Indium selenide (InSe) multilayers have attracted much interest recently due to their electronic and optical properties, partially dependent on the existence of an indirect-to-direct bandgap transition that is correlated to the multilayer thickness. In

Index of Refraction of Liquid Water

Cell viability is an essential measurement for cell therapy, tissue engineered medical products (TEMPs), drug development, and many other biological processes and products. These systems rely on viable, healthy, and functional cells to work as intended

The NIST Material Flammability Database

May 1, 2024
Author(s)
Isaac Leventon, Morgan Bruns, Michael Heck
7 The fire modeling community is actively working to develop the tools needed to quantitatively predict material 8 and product flammability behavior (e.g., ignition, burning rate, fire growth). Such predictions require accurate 9 and efficient simulation

Working equation for a Fabry-Perot cavity based optical pressure standard

May 1, 2024
Author(s)
Yuanchao Yang, Patrick Egan, Tom Rubin
From basics of Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator and roundtrip phase, a complete working equation for a FP cavity based optical pressure standard (OPS) is derived and presented which includes corrections of reflection phase-shift, diffraction and pressure-induced
