Mechanisms of perfect absorption in nano-composite systems

Olivier Martin, Sebastian Mader

Near-perfect absorption across the entire VIS based on metallic nano-composite materials was realized experimentally by Hedayati et.al. in 2011 and optimized based on simulations by Etrich et.al. in 2014. However, both works did not reveal the mechanisms t ...

Optical Thickness Measurements of Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation in the X2 Expansion Tube

Umar Sheikh

Experiments were conducted in the X2 expansion tube to measure vacuum ultraviolet radiation from shock layers representative of reentry conditions at flight equivalent velocities of 10.0 and 12.2 km/s. Cylindrical models of varying lengths were used to mak ...

Inner-shell magnetic dipole transition in Tm atoms: A candidate for optical lattice clocks

Sergey Fedorov

We consider a narrow magneto-dipole transition in the Tm-169 atom at the wavelength of 1.14 mu m as a candidate for a two-dimensional-optical lattice clock. Calculating dynamic polarizabilities of the two clock levels [Xe]4f(13)6s(2)(J = 7/2) and [Xe]4f(13 ...
