A Precision Calibration Solid State Noise Source with smooth Spectrum

 Abstract—A Solid state calibration noise source for precision radio astronomy receivers has been designed built and tested. The Noise source has flat output noise spectrum, stability in time and frequency (smooth response), very low power dissipation, excellent power match...all on a very compact package that can easily be integrated with a radio astronomy receiver. The noise source has an in...

Compact all-solid-state source of polarization-entangled photon pairs

A compact source of polarization-entangled photon pairs at a wavelength of 856 nm is realized using a frequency-doubled laser diode as the pump source for cavity-enhanced type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Our setup generates photon pairs with entanglement visibility of >95% and with count rates comparable to those of standard experiments based on large-frame ion lasers. © 2001 Ame...

Debris-free Euv Source for At-wavelength Metrology

Parallel to the development and optimization of high-power EUV sources for lithography, the realization of low-cost EUV sources for at-wavelength metrology is strongly required. These sources are important tools for the characterization of EUV mirrors and masks, for the determination of thin film transmission (EUV filters), for research on resist materials, and for the calibration of EUV detect...

High Efficiency Collector for Laser Plasma EUV Source

A Solid State Accelerator

We present a solid state accelerator concept utilizing particle acceleration along crystal channels by longitudinal electron plasma waves in a metal. Acceleration gradients of order 100 GV/cm are theoretically possible, but channeling radiation limits the maximum attainable energy to lo5 TeV for protons. Beam dechanneling due to multiple scattering is substantially reduced by the high accelerat...
