AC Stark-shift in CPT-based Cs miniature atomic clocks
We report on studies on the light-shift in caesium miniature atomic clocks based on coherent population trap** (CPT) using a micro-fabricated buffer-gas cell (MEMS cell). The CPT signal is observed on the Cs...

Applying mixed methods to pretest the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life (PU-QOL) instrument
Pretesting is key in the development of patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments. We describe a mixed-methods approach based on interviews and Rasch measurement methods in the pretesting of the Pressure Ulce...

Looking for a new generation of MEMS-type confocal microscopes
In the field of optical scanning microscopy the micro-scale or nano-scale samples are observed and analysed via large macro-tools, too bulky and heavy for individual use in specialised key missions such as in ...

Wet-etching fabrication of multilayer GaAlAs/GaAs microtips for scanning near-field optical microscopy
We propose to fabricate GaAlAs/GaAs multilayer microtips for scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) using anisotropic etching. The etching was performed in a solution of H3PO4:H2O2:H2O operating at a tempe...
