Measuring Diffraction Grating Efficiency
Diffraction gratings are in most optical spectrometers covering visible, IR and UV spectra. Absorption and emission spectrometers, fluorimeters, inductively coupled plasma instruments and high-performance liquid chromatography equipment all use grating spectrometers. Large monochromators in fusion research, high harmonic generation for attosecond physics and synchrotron radiation all measure very...

Detecting Turbulence Before it Hits
Turbulence. It’s one of the leading causes of concern for anxious flyers. If you’ve ever flown, there’s a good chance you’ve been warned to fasten your seat belt or had a beverage spill as you’ve weathered a bumpy ride. But what if planes were equipped with a system that could detect turbulence from afar and automatically steer away from air currents ahead? Such a...
