Electron and Nuclear Spin Interactions in the Optical Spectra of Single GaAs Quantum Dots

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
R W. Gammon, A L. Efros, T A. Kennedy, M Rosen, D S. Katzer, D Park, Steven W. Brown, V L. Korenev, I A. Merkulov
Fine and hyperfine splittings arising from electron, hole and nuclear spin interactions in the magneto-optical spectra of indivisual localized excitons are studied. We explain the magnetic field dependence of the energy splitting through competition

Radiometry: Sensing the World

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Bettye C. Johnson, Keith R. Lykke
Light is the supreme messenger. Light tells us something about the cosmos, the make-up of our bodies, and nearly everything in between. Light carries structural information, chemical information, and information on position and speed, as well as

An Assessment Standard for the Evaluation of Display Measurement Capabilities

November 1, 2000
Author(s)
John M. Libert, Paul A. Boynton, Edward F. Kelley, Steven W. Brown, Yoshi Ohno
A prototype display measurement assessment transfer standard (DMATS) is being developed by NIST to assist the display industry in standardizing measurement methods used to quantify the performance of electronic displays. Designed as an idealized electronic

Radiometric Calibration History of MOBY/NIST Single Channel Dual Mode Radiometers

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard W. Yoon
In 1996, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the support of the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA), designed and built two single channel, dual mode radiometers. The radiometers are used to assess the

Radiometric Characterization and Calibration of the Marine Optical System (MOS) for the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) Project

October 1, 2000
Author(s)
C Habauzit, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, B. Carol Johnson, M Yarbrough, M Feinholz, D K. Clark
The scientific objective of the Marine Optical Buoy (MOBY) project is to measure the downwelling spectral irradiance, E d, and the upwelling spectral radiance, L u, at various depths in the ocean. From these measurements, other quantities can be derived

Improved Near-Infrared Spectral Responsivity Scale

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Ping-Shine Shaw, Thomas C. Larason, R Gupta, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke
A cryogenic radiometer-based system was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for absolute radiometric measurements to improve detector spectral responsivity scales in the wavelength range from 900 nm to 1800 nm. In

Radiometric Calibration History of Visible and Near-Infrared Portable Radiometers

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard W. Yoon
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with the support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has built several transfer radiometers that are used in radiometric measurement comparisons to validate spectral

Calibrations of Colorimeters for Display Measurements: Some Commercial Colorimeters Have Uncertainties in Display-Color Measurements That Are Too Large for Many Commercial, Industrial and Military Applications - But New NIST-Developed Calibration Proc...

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Yuqin Zong, Yoshihiro Ohno
Commercial color measuring instruments (colorimeters and spectroradiometers) are currently used in a number of product development and control environments, as well as for product acceptance testing and a variety of other applications. In many cases, the

Radiometric Measurement Comparisons Using Transfer Radiometers in Support of the Calibration of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) Sensors

September 1, 1999
Author(s)
James J. Butler, B. Carol Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Howard Yoon, R Barnes, B L. Markham, S F. Biggar, E F. Zalewski, P R. Spyak, J W. Cooper, F Sakuma
EOS satellite instruments operating in the visible through the shortwave infrared wavelength regions (from 0.4 um to 2.5 um) are calibrated prior to flight for radiance using integrating spheres at a number of instrument builder facilities. The

NIST Calibration Facility for Display Colorimeters

April 12, 1999
Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Yoshihiro Ohno
A calibration facility has been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to address the need for high accuracy color measurementsof displays. Calibration services tailored to display measuremets are planned for colimeters and
