The authors present a theoretical analysis on the possibility of using the dopant-assisted intrasubband absorption mechanism in quantum wells for normal-incidence far infrared/terahertz radiation detection. The authors ...

Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) vapor was photolyzed at 248nm and the NO3 photoproduct was detected by laser induced fluorescence. The excited state flourescence contributions were investigated and a data analysis methodology ...

This paper estimates the size of the astrometric signatures which may be expected, and discusses prospects for using astrometry as a fundamental tool for understanding quasar nuclei.

A quasi-containerless pendant drop method for measuring the surface tension of molten metals and alloys is being developed. The technique involves melting the end of a high-purity metal rod by bombardment with an electron ...

A novel quasi-optical transmit/receive switch design for use with a high transmit power, low receive noise planetary imaging radar system is described. Design tradeoffs and implementation are discussed.
