Transmissivity testing of multilayer insulation at cryogenic temperatures

Refractive Index of ZnSe at Cryogenic Temperatures†

This report describes an extensive data set on the refractive index of ZnSe that provides full high resolution coverage of the CRIRES operating range in both wavelength and temperature. By combining our prototype instrument model of CRIRES with these data our project to provide wavelength calibration for IR Echelle spectrographs (WIRE) has reached an important milestone and is ready to support ...

A New Device for Mechanical Testing of Blood Vessels at Cryogenic Temperatures.

As part of an ongoing program to study the thermo-mechanical effects associated with cryopreservation via vitrification (vitreous in Latin means glassy), the current study focuses on the development of a new device for mechanical testing of blood vessels at cryogenic temperatures. This device is demonstrated on a bovine carotid artery model, permeated with the cryoprotectant cocktail VS55 and a...

Mechanical quality factor of a sapphire fiber at cryogenic temperatures

A mechanical quality factor of 1.1× 107 was obtained for the 199Hz bending vibrational mode in a monocrystalline sapphire fiber at 6K. Consequently, we confirm that pendulum thermal noise of cryogenic mirrors used for gravitational wave detectors can be reduced by the sapphire fiber suspension.
