Cryogenic photonic resonator with 10-17/s drift

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Wei Zhang, William Milner, Jun Ye, Scott Papp
Thermal noise is the predominant instability in the provision of ultrastable laser frequency by reference to a cavity. Reducing the thermal-noise limit of a cavity means either making it larger to spread thermal fluctuations, reducing the sensitivity of

Entanglement Routing in Quantum Networks: A Comprehensive Survey

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Amar Abane, Michael Cubeddu, Van Sy Mai, Abdella Battou
Entanglement routing in near-term quantum networks consists of choosing the optimal sequence of local entanglements to combine through swapping operations to establish end-to-end entanglement between two distant nodes on a quantum network. Similar to

Nanophotonic oscillators for laser conversion beyond an octave

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Grant Brodnik, Haixin Liu, David Carlson, Jennifer Black, Scott Papp
Many uses of lasers place the highest importance on access to specific wavelength bands. For example, mobilizing optical-atomic clocks for a leap in sensing requires compact lasers at frequencies spread across the visible and near infrared. Integrated

William Groman, Igor Kudelin, Takuma Nakamura, Yifan Liu, Charles McLemore, Franklyn Quinlan, Scott Diddams, Dahyeon Lee, Megan Kelleher, Joel Guo, Warren Jin, John Bowers
With the next generation of telecommunications and radar/navigation upon us, moving from the microwave to the higher bandwidth, millimeter-wave domain has become ever relevant. Simultaneously, the burgeoning field of photonic integrated chips has yielded a

The bandgap-detuned excitation regime in photonic-crystal resonators

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Yan Jin, Erwan Lucas, Jizhao Zang, Travis Briles, Ivan Dickson, David Carlson, Scott Papp
Control of nonlinear interactions in microresonators enhances access to classical and quantum field states across nearly limitless bandwidth. A recent innovation has been to leverage coherent scattering of the intraresonator pump as a control of group

Infographic on Post-Earthquake Functional Recovery Performance

February 10, 2025
Author(s)
Katherine Johnson, Siamak Sattar, Dustin Cook
In the U.S., building codes and standards have been developed to reduce the likelihood of building collapse but do not address the loss of building functions or recovery times due to earthquakes. When scaled to the community level, negative consequences

NIST Neutron Source Pre-Conceptual Design

February 10, 2025
Author(s)
David Diamond, Abdullah Weiss, Osman Celikten, Jeremy Cook, Dagistan Sahin, Hubert King, Anil Gurgen, Joy Shen
A pre-conceptual design has been completed for a NIST Neutron Source (NNS). It would replace the existing facility at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) to enable significantly more thermal and cold neutrons to be used in many more experiments

The Burning Characteristics of 3 m to 6 m Dry Douglas-Fir Trees

February 5, 2025
Author(s)
Erik Johnsson, Giovanni Di Cristina Torres, Eric Mueller, Matthew Bundy, Anthony Chakalis, Marco Fernandez, Anthony Hamins
A series of experiments are reported on the burning behavior of dry, 3 m to 6 m tall, Douglas fir trees. The measurements were conducted in the open under quasi-quiescent conditions. The global measurements reported include the transient, peak, and total
