First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...
Spontaneously emitted photons are entangled with the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom of the emitting atom, so interference and measurement of these photons can entangle separate matter-based ...
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a widely used sensing technique to detect small variations in the refractive index at the metal/dielectric interface. Functionalizing the metal surface makes it ...
Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...
Visual demonstration of the performance of the diffraction grating. The zeroth order transmission refers to light that goes straight through the grating without undergoing diffraction (which should be ...
Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...
A diffractive optic creates two DUV beams, which are focused and interfered on a sample surface (diamond) using a 4f imaging system to generate a microscopic sinusoidal excitation profile.
Those who have experienced method development for laser diffraction understand the scenario well: you are dealing with a new type of sample, uncertain about handling a particular detail, and the one ...
