Mach-Zehnder and Michelson interferometers using core-offset attenuators were demonstrated. As the relative offset direction of the two attenuators in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer can significantly affect the extinction ...

The laser-induced photodissociation of formaldehyde in the wavelength range 309<λ<330nm 309<λ<330nm has been investigated using H (Rydberg) atom photofragment translational spectroscopy. Photolysis wavelengths corresponding ...

Azobenzene-containing materials exhibit various photomechanical properties, including the formation of surface relief gratings (SRG) when irradiated with two interfering laser beams. In a recent study, a novel glass-forming ...

We demonstrate a three-wavelength Tm3+:ZBLAN fiber laser emitting simultaneously at 1460 nm, 1503 nm, and 1873 nm and its application in single-pass absorption measurements for detecting and quantifying water concentration ...

Transparent omniphobic or anti-smudge coatings with glass-like wear resistance and polymer-like bendability have many potential applications but there are no reports of such materials. We Report herein a molecular composite ...

We use a direct product basis, basis vectors computed by evaluating matrix-vector products, and rank reduction to calculate vibrational energy levels of uracil and naphthalene, with 12 and 18 atoms, respectively. A matrix ...

We compute numerically exact rovibrational levels of water dimer, with 12 vibrational coordinates, on the accurate CCpol-8sf ab initio flexible monomer potential energy surface[J. Chem. Phys. 137, 014305 (2012)]. It does ...

In this paper, we report vibration-rotation-tunneling levels of the van der Waals clusters N2–H2O and N2–D2O computed from an ab initio potential energy surface. The only dynamical approximation is that the monomers are ...

Now you see it, now you don't: A specially designed reactor that heats only a small area of Pd foil during a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling permits observation of the surface changes during the reaction. Dissolution of Pd occurs ...
