Nearly Dissipationless Current Achieved Through Light-Induced Switch
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, along with collaborators from Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, have found a light-induced switch that twists the crystal lattice of the material and switches on an electron current that appears to be nearly dissipationless.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR): Theory, Practice, and Applications Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR): Theory, Practice, and Applications
Wed, Feb 10, 2021 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar with John D. Gilmore and Slawomir Piatek, Ph.D., of Hamamatsu will review the basic theory behind a Michaelson-Morley interferometer, and will apply it directly to today’s modern MEMS-based FTIR engines. The presenters will compare traditional grating-based spectrometers with FTIR, and the associated technological limitations, such spectral coverage, signal to noise ratio and noise induced by mechanical vibration. Participants will witness a live MEMS FTIR product demonstration and will learn about FTIR applications and some market challenges and solutions. Presented by Hamamatsu Corporation.
