Micro-Positioner Replacement of Piezo Actuators in Long-working Distance Interference Microscopes
SBC: E. M. Optomechanical, Inc. Topic: N/AThe NIST patented six-degree of freedom micropositioner technology associated with this subtopic has been identified by E M Optomechanical, Inc. (EMOM) as a technology that could be incorporated into the company¿s long-working distance interference microscopes. A key element in these microscopes is a piezo-actuator device, installed in a manual pitch/yaw mount, which translates a small flat mirro ...

High Power, Mid-Infrared Fiber Supercontinuum Light Source
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: N/AModern supercontinuum (SC) light sources are generated by non-linear interactions between ultrashort laser pulses and optical fibers. These light sources have high brightness and are spatially coherent. Output in near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelength ranges has been demonstrated. SC wavelength ranges are constrained by the transmission and dispersion properties of the fibers. Previously, ou ...

Microcalorimeter Alpha Spectrometer for Analysis of Nuclear Material
SBC: STAR CRYOELECTRONICS, LLC Topic: N/AA key factor of international efforts to identify and suppress the supply of and demand for nuclear materials, and thereby to deter potential traffickers, is the ability to accurately identify contradicted material and ultimately to trace it back to its origin. Alpha particle spectroscopy is widely used in nuclear forensics to assay trace quantities of sensitive nuclear materials, but the limited ...

Improved Microcalorimeter Detectors for X-Ray Chemical Shift Mapping
SBC: STAR CRYOELECTRONICS, LLC Topic: N/AX-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a widely used and extremely sensitive analytical technique for qualitative as well as quantitative chemical analysis. Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter detectors have now been developed that achieve an energy resolution of 2 eV (full width at half maximum) for 1.5 keV X-rays, which is sufficient to enable the measurement of the small s ...

Large-Area, High-Uniformity Photodiodes for Infrared Trap Detectors
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: 9020168Rmethyst Research Inc. will design, fabricate and test a high uniformity, large area, low noise infrared trap-detector detector for the 1- 4.5 μm wavelength range. This state of the art detector will have a large area (e.g., 1-1.8 cm diameter active area) with a spatial variability of internal quantum efficiency of less than 0.1 % between 1 μm and 4.5 μm. In addition, the internal quantum effici ...
