EEEL improves high-speed
waveform calibrations

Researchers in EEEL and ITL have developed and validated a covariance-based uncertainty analysis for NIST's electro-optic sampling (EOS) system, which provides calibrated results for both time- and frequency-domain electronic instruments. With this EOS system, NIST presently offers photodiode calibrations to 110 GHz. The electrical response of the photodiodes is determined in the frequency domain, and the measured spectrum and phase of the photodiode's electrical output makes the NIST-calibrated photodiodes ideal for calibrating a variety of other electrical frequency-domain instruments, such as lightwave component analyzers and large-signal analyzers.

EEEL Researchers Receive FLC Award for
Excellence in Technology Transfer

EEEL Researchers Chris Cromer, John Lehman, and Xiaoyu Li have received the 2008 Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer by the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC). The FLC award recognizes federal laboratory employees who have accomplished outstanding work in the process of transferring a technology to the commercial marketplace. Cromer, Lehman, and Li were recognized for their pioneering work in commercializing optical trap detectors for laser power measurements.
