Infrared radiation (750-1500 mmicro) produces no iris contraction in the typically nocturnal long-eared owl even when the energy content is millions of times greater than that of green light which easily elicits a pupil change. The energies in different parts of the visible spectrum required for a minimal iris response yield a spectral visibility curve for the owl which is the same as the human...

In this work I present the study of the behaviour response of mouse broblasts NIH-3T3 under UVB radiation using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. FT-IR, in fact, it is convenient to study molecular cell processes because it has the potential to provide the identi cation of the vibrational modes of some of the major compounds (lipid, ...

We demonstrate a tomographic imaging modality that uses pulsed terahertz (THz) radiation to probe the optical properties of three-dimensional (3D) structures in the far-infrared. This THz-wave computed tomography (T-ray CT) system provides sectional images of objects in a manner analogous to conventional CT techniques such as x-ray CT. The transmitted amplitude and phase of broadband pulses of ...

Nanoplasmonics has been an attractive area of research due to its ability to localize and manipulate freely propagating radiation on the nanometer scale for strong light-matter interactions. Meanwhile, nanomechanics has set records in the sensing of mass, force, and displacement. In this work, we report efficient coupling between infrared radiation and nanomechanical resonators through nanoante...

Many observers have studied th e infrared emi sion of a Bunsen flame [11. 2 The strongest band ocem s at about 4.4 Il and is produced by carbon dioxid e. Other bands have been found a t 0.95, 1.45, 2.0, and 2.8 Il , and are a ttributed to carbon dioxide and water vapor. Very little radiation has been observed in the region beyond 7 Il . In the visible and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum, co...

The application of near infrared spectroscopic technique for the quantitative analysis of food products and commodities is nowadays widely accepted. However, 160 years passed from the discover of near infrared part of the spectrum to its first analytical application which is related to the work of Karl Norris who firstly demonstrated the potential of the NIRS in quantitative analysis particular...

Title of Document: Sum-frequency Generation in Laser Safety and Quantum Telecommunications Applications Jemellie Galang Houston, Master of Science, 2011 Directed By: Dr. Charles W. Clark This thesis describes the implications of sum-frequency generation in both laser safety and quantum telecommunications applications. Green laser pointer technology uses frequency doubling of invisible 1064 nm i...

Several years ago, it was established by the work of P. W. Kadlec of Eastern Airlines (Project TRAPCAT, Ref. 1), that clear air turbulence was frequently associated with temperature gradients or discontinuities in the atmosphere. Barnes Engineering Company had just completed the development of the Satellite Infrared Spectrometer (SIRS) for the Weather Bureau for remote atmospheric temperature p...
