Improved Microcalorimeter Detectors for X-ray Chemical Shift Mapping
SBC: STAR CRYOELECTRONICS, LLC Topic: 9020868TTX-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used and extremely sensitive analytical technique for qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter detectors have now been developed that achieve an energy resolution of 2 eV for 1.5 keV X-rays, which is sufficient to enable the measurement of the small shift of the X-ray line position that ...

Bragg Grating Enhanced Narrowband Single Photon SPDC Source
SBC: Gener8, LLC Topic: 9010177TTSpontaneous Parametric Down conversion (SPDC) is currently an active research area in quantum communications (QC) to develop entangled single photon sources. However, the bandwidth of current SPDC sources is too broad for many applications. NIST researchers have modeled a solution to this problem that reduces the bandwidth by >50. We proposed to fabricate a prototype of the NIST device by developi ...

Digital Micromirror Device Detection Scheme for Transmission Scanning Electron Microscopy
SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: N/AAccurate quantitative characterization of materials is crucial for a wide range of industrial and research applications. New transmission scanning electron microscopy (t-SEM) methods have the potential for high-resolution imaging similar to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with a less expensive, faster, and more widely available SEM system. To exploit the full potential of these imaging tech ...

: Advanced Tactile Sensing for Dexterous Robot Hands in Industrial Automation and Assembly
SBC: Syntouch L.L.C. Topic: 9020173RRobotic actuators exceed human speed, accuracy, and strength, but human hands are regarded as the ultimate in dexterity. SynTouch proposes this is due absent human-like tactile sensing and intelligent reflexive behaviors in robots. SynTouch created a multimodal compliant tactile sensor that mimics the sensory ability of the human fingertip (force, vibration and temperature) and algorithms that fil ...

Low-Noise Detector Arrays for Raman Spectroscopy
SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC. Topic: N/AWe propose to demonstrate near infrared (NIR) InGaAs sensor arrays with 55% lower noise than arrays presently available to improve the sensitivity of current spectroscopy systems. The low noise performance will be enabled by the use of low-noise source follower per detector ROICs, which are also used in astronomy with HgCdTe for low noise measurements. With design improvements to current available ...

Imaging Variable Kinetic Energy Electron Analyzer
SBC: R. Browning Consultants Topic: N/AThe objective of this proposal is to create a prototype imaging variable kinetic energy electron analyzer in the range 0.1 to 8 keV for use with an X-ray excitation source. The imaging analyzer is to have a target imaging spatial resolution of 100 nm. The X-ray excitation source will be a synchrotron light source. The instrument can be described as an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) microsc ...
