Tiny Quantum Effects Promise Big Impact on Future Instruments
While the quantum world may seem abstract and remote from day-to-day life, researchers are discovering that quantum effects such as photon entanglement could improve the performance and precision of everyday tools. Advancements in quantum metrology could help sharpen sensor location data, improve the precision of atomic clocks, or enable more versatile detectors for sensing greenhouse gas emissions.

Optical Frequency Combs Enhance Hyperspectral Imaging
Optical frequency combs have become reference tools for optical frequency metrology and spectroscopy and have also found use in a range of other applications, including precision ranging, arbitrary signal generation, advanced telecommunications, and spectrograph calibration. Recent technological developments have triggered the evolution of new dual-comb sources that promise to surpass the performance of conventional mode-locked laser-based combs in some respects.

Using VIS-NIR Spectroscopy to Quantify Soil Contamination
Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have found a new method to assess oil contamination in soil by using VIS-NIR spectroscopy. The technology works by sending wavelengths of light at a sample and measuring what is absorbed or reflected. Different chemical compounds have specific responses based upon their chemical makeup.
