Dual-Polarization, Sideband-Separating, Balanced Receiver for 1.5 THz

A proposed heterodyne receiver would be capable of detecting electromagnetic radiation in both of two orthogonal linear polarizations, separating sidebands, and providing balanced outputs in a frequency band centered at 1.5 THz with a fractional bandwidth greater than 40 percent. Dual polarization, sideband-separating, and balanced-output receivers are well-known and have been used extensively at frequencies up to about 100 GHz; and there was an earlier proposal for such a receiver for frequencies up to 900 GHz. However, the present proposal represents the first realistic design concept for such a receiver capable of operating above 1 THz. The proposed receiver is intended to be a prototype of mass-producible receiver units, operating at frequencies up to 6 THz, that would be incorporated into highly sensitive heterodyne array instruments to be used in astronomical spectroscopic and imaging studies.

Doppler Sideband Spectra for Ions in a Linear Trap

We describe a spectroscopic measurement of the temperature and linear density of HG+ ions held in a linear ion trap (LIT). The inferred temperature and number result from analysis of sidebands on the 40.5 GHz resonance line.

Highly Sensitive Measurements of Methylene Dynamics With a Frequency-Selective Double-Quantum Sideband Method

Probing the fast dynamics of surface sites using NMR spectroscopy is highly challenging owing to the sites’ high dilution and the difficulties often associated with isotopic enrichment. Intra-CH 2 1 H- 1 H dipolar couplings are ideal probes of motions given that they only involve 1 H’s and the tensor has a well-defined size and orientation. Here, we introduce a frequency-selective variant of the double-quantum sideband method to measure like-spin 1 H- 1 H dipolar coupling constants. The experiment dramatically reduces the instrument time required to measure dynamically-averaged intra-CH 2 dipolar couplings. We demonstrate the performance of the sequence using silica-supported silanes as model highly-mobile surface species.

Raman Sideband Cooling of Molecules in an Optical Tweezer Array to the 3D Motional Ground State

Ultracold polar molecules are promising for quantum information processing and searches for physics beyond the standard model. Laser cooling to ultracold temperatures is an established technique for trapped diatomic and triatomic molecules. Further cooling of the molecules to near the motional ground state is crucial for reducing various dephasings in quantum and precision applications. In this work, we demonstrate Raman sideband cooling (RSC) of CaF molecules in optical tweezers to near their motional ground state, with average motional occupation quantum numbers of n ¯ x = 0.16 ( 12 ) , n ¯ y = 0.17 ( 17 ) (radial directions), and n ¯ z = 0.22 ( 16 ) (axial direction), and a 3-D motional-ground-state probability of 54 ± 18 % of the molecules that survive the RSC. This process paves the way to increase molecular coherence times in optical tweezers for robust quantum computation and simulation applications. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Circuit suppresses spurious sidebands

Circuitry requires modulated subcarrier to be split, part going to a phase modulator, and part going to a new circuit which utilizes a square law detector, a balanced mixer, and an amplifier to remove spurious sidebands. A summer recombines the two outputs, and final signal no longer includes spures.
