Researchers Work on Laser-Cooled Atomic Clock
Mar 1, 1998 — A team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is set to begin work on an advanced laser-cooled cesium atomic clock slated to go aboard the international space station. The clock will employ the latest techniques for cooling atoms with laser beams. Cold atoms provide a narrower resonance linewidth, translating into improved long-term stability. The scientists estimate that the space clock will perform 10 times more accurately than the best Earth-based clocks. It...
Coast Guard Brings New Life to Lighthouse
Mar 1, 1998 — The US Coast Guard has agreed to restore the original lens in a historic Florida lighthouse. The diamondlike lens is one of only eight clamshell-design Fresnel lenses still operating in the US. The Coast Guard had planned to replace the 1907 lens...
Infrared Sensor Works Better than Coffee
Mar 1, 1998 — A helmet-mounted infrared sensor promises to reduce heavy-truck accidents caused by sleepy drivers. According to South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, mining companies suffer substantial losses each year when drivers fall...
Spectroscopy Identifies Tooth Decay
Mar 1, 1998 — Researchers from two German institutions have used near-infrared Raman spectroscopy to identify tooth decay in a variety of stages, and in tooth-colored fillings. Traditionally, dentists have examined suspicious teeth with a dental probe, a...
Process Makes Single-Crystal Diamond a Reality
Mar 1, 1998 — LMA Inc. has developed a process that grows single-crystal diamond that has performed significantly better than conventional polycrystalline diamond in tests, enabling a host of photonic applications from advanced diode lasers to UV-transmissive...
Optical Detector Measures Volatility of Coal Dust
Mar 1, 1998 — Mine operators have long had to keep a close eye on the buildup of coal dust in underground mines. Too much of the combustible dust could lead to an explosion. A group of researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in...
Three-Laser Method Goes Beyond Diamond Films
Mar 1, 1998 — Three years after unveiling an advanced method for depositing diamond thin coats, QQC Inc. has disclosed that it used the same three overlapping pulsed lasers to improve the surface of metals, ceramics and polymers. The multilaser process gained...
Researchers Inch Closer to X-Ray Wavelengths
Mar 1, 1998 — Scientists have long sought to explore the structure of matter at the atomic and molecular level. To achieve this, they have been working toward developing a self-amplified spontaneous emission x-ray free-electron laser. Recently, a team from the...
Integrated Photodetector Improves Wireless Communications
Mar 1, 1998 — Wireless communications of the future may offer better performance, thanks to a photodetector developed by the University of California's Integrated Photonics Laboratory. The velocity-matched distributed photodetector, developed under the leadership...
Micromachine Aligns Optical Fiber
Mar 1, 1998 — Aligning optical fibers in manufacturing production lines may soon become easier, thanks to an active fiber optic microaligner developed by The Boeing Co. in St. Louis. The prototype device is 4 mm square and 0.5 mm high, small enough to fit inside...
Adaptive Optics System Enhances 3.5-m Telescope
Mar 1, 1998 — The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, and Adaptive Optics Associates in Cambridge, Mass., have installed an adaptive optics system on the joint German and Spanish 3.5-m telescope in Calar Alto, Spain. The optical system...
Scanning Probe Microscope Looks at Liquids' Surfaces
Mar 1, 1998 — Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a scanning probe microscope that can show the surfaces of liquids with horizontal resolutions of about 100 Å and vertical resolutions of about 1 Å. Dubbed scanning...
Spectroscopy Advance Targets Industrial Applications
Mar 1, 1998 — Industry has been slow to accept laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for chemical analysis because of the technology's inherent signal instability and because it measures relative, rather than absolute, concentrations of trace elements. However,...
Terabit Networks Become Reality
Mar 1, 1998 — A flexible, high-power, erbium-doped fiber amplifier technology, optimized planar waveguides and externally modulated lasers form the heart of a new optical network from Lucent Technologies that is capable of transmitting 3.2 Tb/s. At the core...
Electrons 'Self-Trap' on Crystal Surfaces
Mar 1, 1998 — For years, scientists have sought answers to questions about the microscopic properties of solid surfaces and interfaces. The end of that search may be a little closer, in light of a paper recently published by a team of researchers from the...
Optical Fiber Measures Turbulence
Mar 1, 1998 — A team of physicists from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Bordeaux, France, has demonstrated a fiber optic device that measures the two-dimensional turbulence of fluids quickly and inexpensively. This development could simplify...
Ultrafast Spectroscopy Reveals the Potential of Alkanes
Mar 1, 1998 — Chemists have taken another step closer to understanding alkane activation reactions occurring at room temperature, thanks to an ultrafast spectroscopic technique that provides images at a rate of a trillionth of a second. Alkanes are compounds of...
UV Radiation Holds the Key to a New Film Curing Process
Mar 1, 1998 — Engineers at Research Frontiers Inc. in Woodbury, N.Y., have developed a faster process for making light-controllable film by curing it with ultraviolet radiation rather than heat. The process enables manufacturers to produce electrically...
Lasers Aid in Bacteria Destruction
Feb 1, 1998 — GLASGOW, Scotland, UK -- Heating bacteria to high temperatures will kill them, but exposing them to Nd:YAG laser light does it better, according to research findings at the University of Glasgow. Ian Watson, Duncan Stewart-Tull and co-workers at the...
Laser Bursts Strengthen Metal Parts
Feb 1, 1998 — LIVERMORE, Calif. -- A new high-energy "laser peening" process can improve metal parts by sending a shock wave through the metal, inducing compressive stresses that reduce metal fatigue and boost resistance to corrosion. Manufacturers have been...
Optical Coating Absorbs in UV Range
Feb 1, 1998 — Reducing stray light is a problem that engineers often encounter when designing optical instruments. One method of achieving this reduction is to apply absorptive coatings on an instrument's critical components. Applications for the coating are...
Crystal Eases Blue Laser Production
Feb 1, 1998 — TROY, N.Y. -- Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have revived a bit of history in time for the first commercial blue-diode lasers. Companies hoping to manufacture blue lasers face several significant obstacles, including structural and...
Fiber Gratings Affect Noise of Semiconductor Lasers
Feb 1, 1998 — PASADENA, Calif. -- Researchers at the California Institute of Technology's department of applied physics have found a way to manipulate the noise intensity of a semiconductor laser using fiber Bragg gratings -- an advance that could lead to...
High-Power Lasers Send Electrons Flying
Feb 1, 1998 — PALAISEAU, France -- Scientists from four French and one British laboratories are using high-energy, short-pulse lasers to observe electron acceleration corresponding to an energy gain of 1.6 MeV in a plasma wave of less than 1 cm. Their technique...
Holography Accurately Measures Velocity
Feb 1, 1998 — WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Scientists at Purdue University have developed a convenient method for measuring the velocity of an object. It could prove particularly useful for remote sensing in manufacturing. Just as a strobe light makes a moving object...
