… This section discusses describes recent measurements of the linewidth of QC lasers by
Myers, Taubman and Williams at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory [65]. Since the laser …

We demonstrate the design, fabrication, and characterization of single-mode low-loss waveguides
for mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. Planar waveguide structures were fabricated from …

Because competitive interactions may have led to adaptations enabling bloom‐forming
phytoplankton to dominate pelagic communities, we explored the allelopathic effects of one red …

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are a relatively new type of semiconductor laser operating
in the mid- to long-wave infrared. These monopolar multilayered quantum well structures …

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurological disease in the world. A key
challenge in PD is tracking disease severity, progression, and medication response. Existing …

For optical modeling and other purposes, we have created a library of 57 liquids for which
we have measured the complex optical constants n and k. These liquids vary in their nature, …

We have recently developed vetted methods for obtaining quantitative infrared directional–hemispherical
reflectance spectra using a commercial integrating sphere. In this paper, the …

Purpose of Review The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s
disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), is rising as the global population ages. Access to …

The reactions are summarized in Scheme I. Keto diene 29 cyclized in 95% isolated yield to
tetramethylcycloheptenone 3 in 1 h total reaction time. 10 An attempt to copolymerize 2 with 1…

Blooms and cultures of the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis exude compounds that
inhibit the growth of competing phytoplankton, but the identities of these compounds are …
