Novgorod, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 January 2020; Accepted: 28 January 2020; Published: 3 February 2020 Abstract: The gyrotrons are powerful sources of coherent radiation that can operate in both pulsed and CW (continuous wave) regimes. Their recent advancement toward higher frequencies reached the terahertz (THz) region and opened the road to many new applications in the broad fields of high-power terahertz science and technologies. Among them are advanced spectroscopic techniques, most notably NMR-DNP (nuclear magnetic resonance with signal enhancement through dynamic nuclear polarization, ESR (electron spin resonance) spectroscopy, precise spectroscopy for measuring the HFS (hyperfine splitting) of positronium, etc. Other prominent applications include materials processing (e.g., thermal treatment as well as the sintering of advanced ceramics), remote detection of concealed radioactive materials, radars, and biological and medical research, just to name a few. Among prospective and emerging applications that utilize the gyrotrons as radiation sources are imaging and sensing for inspection and control in various technological processes (for example, food production, security, etc).

  • Study of CVD Diamond Layers with Amorphous Carbon Admixture by Raman Scattering Spectroscopy

Romanowskiej 2, 85-796 Bydgoszcz, Poland Raman spectroscopy is a most often used standard technique for characterization of different carbon materials. In this work we present the Raman spectra of polycrystalline diamond layers of different quality, synthesized by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition method (HF CVD). We show how to use Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of the Raman bands to deter- mine the structure of diamond films as well as the structure of amorphous carbon admixture. Raman spectroscopy has become an important technique for the analysis of CVD diamond films. The first-order diamond Raman peak at ca. 1332 cm−1 is an unambiguous evidence for the presence of diamond phase in the deposited layer. However, the existence of non-diamond car- bon components in a CVD diamond layer produces several overlapping peaks in the same wavenumber region as the first order diamond peak. The intensities, wavenumber, full width at half maximum (FWHM) of these bands are dependent on quality of diamond layer which is dependent on the deposition conditions. The aim of the present work is to relate the features of diamond Raman spectra to the features of Raman spectra of non-diamond phase admixture and occurrence of other carbon structures in the obtained diamond thin films.

Thenkabail Received: 13 July 2016; Accepted: 22 September 2016; Published: 28 September 2016 Abstract: Recent investigations have discovered that Terra MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) long-wave infrared (LWIR) photovoltaic (PV) bands, bands 27–30, have strong crosstalk among themselves. The linear model developed to test the electronic crosstalk effect was instrumental in the first discovery of the effect in Terra MODIS band 27, and through subsequent investigations the model and the correction algorithm were tested further and established to be correct. It was shown that the correction algorithm successfully mitigated the anomalous features in the calibration coefficients as well as the severe striping and the long-term drift in the Earth view (EV) retrievals for the affected Terra bands. Here, the examination into Aqua MODIS using the established methodology confirms the existence of significant crosstalk contamination in its four LWIR PV, although the finding shows the overall effect to be of lesser degree. The crosstalk effect is characterized and the crosstalk correction coefficients are derived for all four Aqua LWIR PV bands via analysis of signal contamination in the lunar imagery.

  • RTT TECHNOLOGY TOPIC January 2015 Defence Spectrum – the New Battleground?
    RTT TECHNOLOGY TOPIC January 2015 Defence Spectrum – the new battleground? In this month’s technology topic we look at contemporary military radio developments, the integration of LTE user devices into defence communication systems, the relevance of military research to 5 G deployment efficiency and related spectral utilisation and regulatory issues. Defence communication systems are deployed across the whole radio spectrum from long wave to light. This includes mobile communication systems at VHF and UHF and L Band and S band, LEO, MEO and GSO satellite systems (VHF to E band) and mobile and fixed radar (VHF to E band). Legacy defence systems are being upgraded to provide additional functionality. This requires more rather than less spectrum. Increased radar resolution requires wider channel bandwidths; longer range requires more power and improved sensitivity. Improved sensitivity increases the risk of inter system interference. Emerging application requirements including unmanned aerial vehicles require a mix of additional terrestrial, satellite and radar bandwidth. These requirements are geographically and spectrally diverse rather than battlefield and spectrally specific. The assumption in many markets is that the defence industry will be willing and able to surrender spectrum for mobile broadband consumer and civilian use. The AWS 3 auction in the US is a contemporary example with a $5 billion transition budget to cover legacy military system decommissioning in the DOD coordination zone between 1755 and 1780 MHz This transition strategy assumes an increased use of LTE network hardware and user hardware in battlefield systems. While this might imply an opportunity for closer coordination and cooperation between the mobile broadband and defence community it seems likely that an increase in the amount of defence bandwidth needed to support a broadening range of RF dependent systems could be a problematic component in the global spectral allocation and auction process.

  • For Each Service They Propose at the Time They File Their Applications, and to Preempt State Regulation to the Maximum Extent Possible
    for each service they propose at the time they file their applications, and to preempt state regulation to the maximum extent possible. III. CONCLUSION Viacom submits that the assignment of fixed frequency pairs to PCS licensees will result in higher relocation costs and lengthy delays in the provision of PCS service. Accordingly, Viacom recommends that the FCC adopt the Spectral Zone Coordination approach, under which two PCS licensees in a market are each assured a fixed allocation of 25 MHz in the 1850-1990 MHz band. Under this approach, in the event there is blockage within any PCS licensee's fixed allocation, each PCS licensee would have the flexibility to select needed frequencies within any unused portion of the 1850-1990 MHz band (such unused portion totalling 70 MHz if the FCC allocates 20 MHz to unlicensed services) for any given cell site pending completion of voluntary negotiations or ultimately arbitration and involuntary relocation, thereby minimizing the need for the relocation of incumbents and producing a variety of options for the few required relocations. Alternatively, if the FCC decides, as it has proposed, to allocate three frequency blocks of 30 MHz each, Viacom recommends that the FCC apply the Spectral Zone Coordination technique to its proposed fixed block scheme, providing for a 30 MHz pool which can be accessed by PCS operators on a notification basis until incumbent users relocate as necessary. This type of - 22 - approach will retain most of the advantages of a fixed block scheme while adding much of the flexibility of the Spectral Zone Coordination methodology.

  • Ncar S-Pol Second Frequency (K -Band) Radar
    P12R.6 NCAR S-POL SECOND FREQUENCY (KA-BAND) RADAR Gordon Farquharson,∗ Frank Pratte, Milan Pipersky, Don Ferraro, Alan Phinney, Eric Loew, Robert Rilling, Scott Ellis, and Jothiram Vivekanandan National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado 1. INTRODUCTION The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has recently extended the observational capability of the S-band dual-polarimetric weather radar system (S-Pol, Keeler et al. (2000)) by adding a Ka-band (35 GHz) po- larimetric Doppler radar (Vivekanandan et al., 2004). The Transmitter Ka-band radar employs a dual channel receiver and can be configured for either HH and HV, or HH and VV polari- metric measurements. The Ka-band and S-band antenna beams are matched and aligned, and timing signals for both systems are generated from the Global Position Sys- tem (GPS) ensuring that a common resolution volume is sampled by both systems. This dual-wavelength capabil- ity provides the potential for retrieving water vapor profiles Radar Processor (Ellis et al., 2005) and liquid water content in Rayleigh scattering conditions (Vivekanandan et al., 1999), im- proving remote sensing of various precipitation types, and studies on cloud microphysics. 2.

  • Review of the State of Infrared Detectors for Astronomy in Retrospect of the June 2002 Workshop on Scientific Detectors for Astronomy
    Review of the state of infrared detectors for astronomy in retrospect of the June 2002 Workshop on Scientific Detectors for Astronomy. Gert Fingera and James W. Beleticb a European Southern Obseravatory, D-85748 Garching, Germany b W. M. Keck Observatory 65-1120 Mamalahoa Hwy., Kamuela, Hi 96743, USA ABSTRACT Only two months ago, in June 2002, a workshop on scientific detectors for astronomy was held in Waimea, where for the first time both experts on optical CCD’s and infrared detectors working at the cutting edge of focal plane technology gathered. An overview of new developments in optical detectors such as CCD’s and CMOS devices will be given elsewhere in these proceedings [1]. This paper will focus on infrared detector developments carried out at the European Southern Observatory ESO and will also include selected highlights of infrared focal plane technology as presented at the Waimea workshop. Three main detector developments for ground based astronomers are currently pushing infrared focal plane technology. In the near infrared from 1 to 5 mm two technologies, both aiming for buttable 2Kx2K mosaics, will be reviewed, namely InSb and HgCdTe grown by LPE or MBE on Al2O3, Si or CdZnTe substrates. Blocked impurity band Si:As arrays cover the mid infrared spectral range from 8 to 28 mm. Since the video signal of infrared arrays, contrary to CCD’s, is DC coupled, long exposures with IR arrays are extremely susceptible to drifts and low frequency noise pick- up down to the mHz regime. New techniques to reduce thermal drifts and suppress low frequency noise with on-chip reference pixels will be discussed.

The rest-frame near-IR spectra of intermediate age (1–2 Gyr) stellar populations aredominatedbycarbonbasedabsorption features offering a wealth of information. Yet, spectral libraries that include the near-IR wavelength range do not sample a sufficiently broad range of ages and metallicities to allowforaccuratecalibrationofstellar population models and thus the interpretation of the observations. Aims. In this paper we investigate the integrated J-andH-band spectra of six intermediate age and old globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Methods. The observations for six clusters were obtained with the SINFONI integral field spectrograph at the ESO VLT Yepun tele- scope, covering the J (1.09–1.41 µm) and H-band (1.43–1.86 µm) spectral range. The spectral resolution is 6.7 Å in J and 6.6 Å in H-band (FWHM). The observations were made in natural seeing, covering the central 24"" 24"" of each cluster and in addition sam- pling the brightest eight red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star candidates× within the clusters’ tidal radii.
