Michael D. Morris, William F. Finney, Rupak M. Rajachar and David H. Kohn. Faraday Discussions 126 (2004), 159–168; DOI 10.1039/B304905A; first published 3 November 2003. The publisher's byline verifies the full names and University of Michigan affiliations. The Abstract describes hydrated murine femora loaded in tension in a mechanical tester fitted to a Raman microprobe stage; mineral phosphate-band shifts were recorded while loading remained in the elastic regime. Access verified through the publisher's indexed Abstract; direct full-text access was unavailable.

An openly readable abstract with the same byline and DOI is available at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14992405/ . It describes a custom tester on the Raman microprobe stage, hydrated specimens, simultaneous loading measurements and mineral-band changes below yield. The abstract supplies these apparatus observations; no unavailable full-text details are inferred.

Three-page invited OFC paper, Anaheim, March 2001. The PDF title is Frequency response metrology for high-speed optical receivers; its exact byline is Paul D. Hale, Tracy S. Clement and Dylan F. Williams, National Institute of Standards and Technology. Page 1, Heterodyne measurements: two single-frequency lasers near 1319 nm, variable attenuators, beam splitter, polarizer and single-mode fibre produce mode-matched beating at a tunable difference frequency. Pages 1–2, equations 1–4 and Figure 1, separate the optical modulation model from electrical loss and impedance-mismatch corrections. No current instrument specifications are inferred from this historical apparatus.

Publisher Abstract: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0030401892900708 . It reports pulses compressed to 70 fs and approximately 0.9 GW output power for chirped and stretched pulse parametric amplification in BBO. The indexed publisher Abstract was verified; the direct page returned HTTP 403, so no unobserved full-text pump wavelength, crystal orientation or pulse-energy value is inferred. The exact byline remains A. Dubietis, G. Jonušauskas and A. Piskarskas.

Applied Spectroscopy57(11),1317–1323, November2003. Publisher and author manuscript explicitly credit David W.McCamant, Philipp Kukura and Richard A.Mathies. Introduction and Figure1 distinguish the narrowband Raman pump from the broadband short probe and discuss spectral resolution. Materials and Methods, Instrumentation/Figure2, describes spectrally filtered pump light near793nm, a sapphire-generated continuum, spectrograph and dual-diode-array probe/reference detection; cyclohexane gain bands provide a non-biological physical-spectroscopy example. Data Collection, equation4, forms a dark-corrected, reference-normalized pump-on/pump-off gain ratio.

Data Collection specifies a 97 ms detector exposure containing 97 probe/reference pulse pairs, followed by 10 ms readout with detector-exposure shutter S2 closed. Raman-pump shutter S1 switches state during readout, producing alternating pump-on/off exposures. These simultaneous probe/reference measurements constrain exposure allocation in pairs; live exposure time excludes the closed-shutter readout. ^[ref]

Applied Spectroscopy59(4),393–400, April2005. The publisher's exact byline is P.Matousek, I.P.Clark, E.R.C.Draper, M.D.Morris, A.E.Goodship, N.Everall, M.Towrie, W.F.Finney and A.W.Parker. Abstract: collection regions laterally offset from the excitation spot change surface/subsurface spectral contributions; the physical feasibility sample was trans-stilbene powder beneath1mm of PMMA powder, with a19-fold unprocessed buried-layer contrast improvement. The abstract is the verified locator for this material experiment; no specific offset or wavelength is inferred from inaccessible full text.

Manufacturer technical description, opening paragraphs: identically shaped birefringent prisms with orthogonal crystal axes, divergent orthogonally polarized output beams, calcite/quartz implementations, and full output-angle convention. General specifications distinguish cemented calcite prisms from optically contacted quartz prisms. Technical construction and angle convention are cited; no catalog prices are relied on.

Manufacturer apparatus manual hosted by IIT Roorkee. Cover credits Raman Scientific Instruments, Roorkee. PDF pp2–5 describe the sodium source, slit, biprism, optical bench, micrometer eyepiece, two virtual slit images and fringe-width relation. PDF p2 gives the conjugate-lens separation method: the full virtual-source separation is the square root of the product of the two measured image separations. The manual denotes that full separation by2d; this differs from conventions using d for the full separation.

Verified locator: Manufacturer technical sheet Ref.1211-e, printed copyright January2024. PDFp1 identifies Sequoia as a third-order cross-correlator for temporal contrast; p2 separately lists scanning range, scan resolution and optical temporal resolution.

Primary vendor documentation titled Plane wave and beam source - Simulation object. Frequency/Wavelength tab, Standard source: PULSELENGTH explicitly means full width at half maximum of the temporal power profile. No personal byline or publication date is asserted.

The standard-source PULSELENGTH setting is the temporal power FWHM. “Manual calculation of the source time signal” gives a sinusoidal carrier multiplied by a Gaussian field envelope and distinguishes the pulse length from the envelope parameter.

Application note explicitly credited to Francesco D'Angelo, Section 2.1 of the Edmund Optics Laser Optics Resource Guide. Equations (1)–(5) define the intensity radius, beam waist, Rayleigh range and far-field half-angle beam divergence of an ideal Gaussian beam. No publication date is asserted.

For wavefront curvature, the same primary application note gives the Gaussian beam wavefront radius in equation (6), the reciprocal complex beam parameter in equation (10), and the thin-lens transformation in equation (16): www.edmundoptics.com/knowledge-center/application-notes/lasers/gaussian-beam-propagation/ . These distinguish wavefront radius from beam radius and connect curvature to the complex beam parameter.
