Article Abstract

We present the design of a continuous-wave, highly sensitive optical spectrometer for millimeter-wave frequencies between 50 and 1000 GHz, with optimal performance at cryogenic temperatures. The spectrometer uses photomixing of near-infrared light to generate radiation over a wide frequency range, and the optical power absorbed by the sample is determined directly by measuring the sample temperature. This enables a dynamic range of up to 106 for the absorption coefficient below liquid-helium temperatures, making it suitable for measurements on highly reflective samples. The instrument can also be used in combination with high magnetic fields. In order to validate its performance, we measure the ferromagnetic resonance in the Mott insulator YTiO3, the electron spin resonance in a standard free-radical reference compound, and the antiferromagnetic resonance in a van der Waals magnetic material.

Neutron Time-of-Flight (nTOF) detectors are key diagnostics to detect thermonuclear neutrons in laser-fusion experiments. This diagnostic, however, is often plagued by strong gamma-ray noise prior to neutron signals, especially in harsh fast-ignition (FI) environments. To address this issue, a combination of low-afterglow liquid scintillators with time-gated photomultiplier tubes as necessary nTOF components would be a natural solution.

Wafer thickness is a critical parameter in semiconductor manufacturing, influencing production costs, and chip performance. Traditional measurement methods using clamping devices often introduce errors due to uneven positioning or unstable clamping. This study enhances the dual-probe chromatic confocal system by incorporating a diffractive optical element that splits white light into three beams, with spectrometer wave peak counts detecting wafer tilt.

The exponential growth of data in the information era has pushed conventional optical communication technology to its limitations, including inefficient spectral utilization, slow data rate, and inherent security vulnerabilities. Here, a transformative high-speed organic spectral wireless communication (SWC) technology enabled by a flexible, miniaturized, and high-performance organic hyperspectrometer is proposed that integrates ultrahigh-speed data transmission with hardware-level encryption. By synergistically combining organic photodetector arrays with tunable responsivities and spectral-tunable organic filters, the organic hyperspectrometer achieves a broad spectral detection range of 400 to 900 nm, resolution of 1.
