    Notes: Synchrotron-based infrared microscopic measurements have been performed on various hair transverse sections, sampled either from the heads of Caucasian or Afro-American subjects. Lipid content of various virgin hair transverse sections was established, with an unprecedented resolution. The variations in shape and intensity of the CH2, CH3, amide I and amide II bands, before and after lipid removal by solvent extraction, were profiled, showing clearly that Caucasian hair often contains lipids localized inside the medulla and to a lesser extent inside the cuticle. This statement does not hold for the Afro-American hair analysed. For this, the FT-IR spectra do not change within the hair section and are insensitive to solvent extraction. The importance of the origin of hair on its physical and chemical properties has to be taken into account in future investigations.

    Notes: [Auszug] Terahertz (THz) radiation, which lies in the far-infrared region, is at the interface of electronics and photonics. Narrow-band THz radiation can be produced by free-electron lasers and fast diodes. Broadband THz radiation can be produced by thermal sources and, more recently, by table-top ...

    Notes: A facility to perform infrared microspectroscopy is under development at the NSLS of Brookhaven National Laboratory. The high brightness infrared light produced as synchrotron radiation makes a nearly ideal source for microspectroscopy. High quality spectra from 10 μm sized areas can be acquired in less than 1 min. A description of the installation, microspectroscopy performance, and an example application are presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A new infrared beamline has been developed on a conventional dipole bending magnet port of the vacuum ultraviolet ring at the National Synchrotron Light Source. The port provides approximately 12 mrad horizontal and 8 mrad vertical aperture, which limits the useful spectral range to wavelengths less than 20 μm. Though the total flux across the midinfrared is less than that from a globar source, the calculated brightness is at least two orders of magnitude greater. Also, the synchrotron source delivers light in subnanosecond pulses. The developing experimental programs include studies of hydrogen and other materials at extremely high pressures, and time-resolved studies of infrared sensor materials. The measurement results presented here, characterizing the actual brightness advantage and spectroscopic performance, demonstrate the synchrotron's remarkable advantage for microspectroscopic studies. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Infrared synchrotron radiation is a high brightness, pulsed source that enables a variety of novel spectroscopic techniques. One of these is time-resolved, broadband spectroscopy for probing dynamical processes. At the National Synchrotron Light Source (Brookhaven) we have implemented a synchronized laser system for performing pump–probe spectroscopy of superconductors and other materials. In the case of superconductors, we use laser pulses to break Cooper pairs, producing an excess population of quasiparticles. The relaxation (recombination) of this population is then probed with synchrotron infrared pulses, and analyzed in terms of the intrinsic relaxation times for excited quasiparticles and phonons. This presentation will describe the time-resolved technique and results for various metallic and oxide superconductors. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The spatial resolution for infrared microspectroscopy is investigated to determine the practical limits imposed by diffraction or optical aberrations. Quantitative results are obtained using high brightness synchrotron radiation, which serves as a diffraction-limited infrared "point source" for the microscope. The measured resolving power is in good agreement with diffraction theory, including a ∼ 30% improvement for a confocal optical arrangement. The diffraction calculation also shows how the confocal setup leads to better image contrast. The full width at half maximum of the instrument's resolution pattern is approximately λ/2 for this arrangement. One achieves this diffraction limit when the instrument's apertures define a region having dimensions equal to the wavelength of interest. While commercial microspectrometers are well corrected for optical aberrations (allowing diffraction-limited results), the standard substrates used for supporting specimens introduce chromatic aberrations. An analysis of this aberration is also presented, and correction methods described. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have measured a fast response by thin-film YBa2Cu3O7−δ detectors to pulsed, broadband, infrared radiation. Synchrotron light from an electron storage ring was used as the infrared source, providing subnanosecond pulses from far infrared through visible. Pulse responsivities as high as 106 V/J and as fast as 4 ns have been observed. For film thicknesses in the range 400–3200 A(ring), the detector response follows the film absorptivity while the speed varies inversely with thickness, suggesting a bolometric mechanism. Calculations based on such a model are in accord with the data. We find no evidence for any nonbolometric components in the response.
