In this paper we present the advantages and possibilities of a modular test platform for the evaluation of security protocols in NFC applications. Furthermore, we also depict some practical implementation results of this modular system. The scope of the platform is to provide a highly modular system. Adding or removing certain functionality can be done without the need of rebuilding the entire ...

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) has experienced tremendous growth in the last 5 years. Specifically, TER imaging has provided invaluable insight into the spatial distribution and properties of chemical species on a surface with spatial resolution that is otherwise unattainable by any other analytical method. Additionally, there has been further development in coupling ultrafast spectrosc...

Introduction Conclusions References

A new Raman spectrometer has been developed that can produce a complete high-resolution gas-phase vibrational spectrum during the time period of a single laser pulse. Conventional gas-phase Raman spectroscopy uses a single narrow-band laser to produce signals that are weak, requiring relatively long collection times. This spectrometer uses a degenerate OPO as a broad-band source that covers a c...

Despite a long history of vigilance research, the role of global and local feature discrimination in vigilance tasks has been relatively neglected. In this experiment participants performed a sustained attention task requiring either global or local shape stimuli discrimination. Reaction time to local feature discriminations was characterized by a quadratic trend over time-on-task with performa...

Noncollinear four-wave-mixing (FWM) techniques at near-infrared (NIR), visible, and ultraviolet frequencies have been widely used to map vibrational and electronic couplings, typically in complex molecules. However, correlations between spatially localized inner-valence transitions among different sites of a molecule in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range have not been observed yet. As...
