Using two optical frequency combs and a photon counter, the experiments open up exciting prospects for conducting dual-comb spectroscopy in low-light conditions and they pave the way for novel ...

An ultraviolet photon-counting dual-comb spectrometer. Two ultraviolet frequency combs of slightly different pulse repetition frequencies are generated at very low light levels by nonlinear frequency ...

The new approach produces extremely accurate and stable frequencies and could significantly enhance precision timekeeping and high-resolution atomic and molecular spectroscopy. WASHINGTON — ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists at JILA have created the first "frequency comb" in the extreme ultraviolet band of the spectrum, high-energy light less than 100 nanometers (nm) in wavelength.

Physicists achieve major leap in precision and accuracy at extremely low light levels. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) have successfully developed a new technique for ...

A genetic duplication which involves almost one-third of the chromosome has been described in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium. This duplication occurs at a spontaneous frequency of approximately ...

How it works: the top frequency comb is passed through a sample of interest and then into a beamsplitter. The bottom frequency comb operates at a slightly different pulse repetition frequency and is ...

Short duration, intense pulses of light can experience dramatic spectral broadening when propagating through lengths of optical fibre. This continuum generation process is caused by a combination of ...

One of the more exotic technologies being explored for Army networking is ultraviolet communications. It can be employed for non-line-of-sight (LOS) communications or direct LOS, and it is harder for ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrical engineers at Duke University have discovered that changing the physical shape of a class of materials commonly used in electronics and near- and mid-infrared photonics ...
