The first precise measurement of the Casimir force between dissimilar metals is reported.

The relationship between the conduction band discontinuity ((Delta)E(c)) and the band gap difference ((Delta)E(g)) of InGaAsP/InP heterojunctions is measured using capacitance-voltage analysis.

We have measured the concentration of deuterium as a function of depth in a deuterium exchanged LiNbO(3) sample using nuclear reaction analysis.

So far the best receiver sensitivities in optical fiber transmission systems have been achieved with coherent systems, with the most impressive transmission distances obtained with differential pha

A novel optical polarization-diversity coherent receiver is described and demonstrated.

The anomalous Hall effect of two-dimensional holes in a CaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure was measured under a slightly tilted-from-parallel magnetic field (B).

Room temperature carrier lifetimes of both type-I and type- II InP-based multiple quantum wells near optical transparency were measured using the pump-probe technique.

We have measured the vibrational modes of the sound producing membrane in the syrinx of zebra finches and canaries.

A polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) transient recorder setup was realized enabling for the first time to our knowledge the monitoring of fast PMD fluctuation with a bandwidth of up to 1 MHz.

The width of an x-ray diffraction peak is a sensitive function of the angle of incidence when the angle of incidence is less than one degree.
