CELiS (Compact Eyesafe Lidar System): A Portable 1.5 μm Elastic Lidar System for Rapid Aerosol Concentration Measurement
CELiS (Compact Eyesafe Lidar System) is a tactical elastic lidar system commissioned by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) for the purpose of air quality environmental compliance issues surrounding the offroad use of wheeled and tracked vehicles. A complete CELiS instrument weighs less than 300 lbs., is less than 2 cubic meters in volume and uses 700 W of 120V AC power. CELiS has a working range of better than 2km and a range resolution of 5m
Nonlinear femtosecond pulse propagation in an all-solid photonic bandgap fiber
Nonlinear femtosecond pulse propagation in an all-solid photonic bandgap fiber is experimentally and numerically investigated. Guiding light in such fiber occurs via two mechanisms: photonic bandgap in the central silica core or total internal reflection in the germanium doped inclusions. By properly combining spectral filtering, dispersion tailoring and pump coupling into the fiber modes, we experimentally demonstrate efficient supercontinuum generation with controllable spectral bandwidth
"Magnetoscan": A Modified Hall Probe Scanning Technique for the Detection of Inhomogeneities in Bulk High Temperature Superconductors
We present a novel technique for the investigation of local variations of the
critical current density in large bulk superconductors. In contrast to the
usual Hall probe scanning technique, the sample is not magnetized as a whole
before the scan, but locally by a small permanent magnet, which is fixed near
the Hall probe, during the scanning process. The resulting signal can be
interpreted as a qualitative measure of the local shielding currents flowing at
the surface.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
