The carrier of the FM triplet is locked to a mode of an external cavity and the FM modulation frequency is matched to the cavity free spectral range (FSR), thus the sidebands are transmitted through adjacent cavity modes. As a result any residual frequency noise of the laser carrier leads to the same amplitude attenuation and phase shift of the sidebands, wherefore FM spectroscopy can be performed inside the cavity without introduction of additional noise, yet benefiting from the cavity enhancement of length and laser power. \noindent The main technical difficulty of NICE-OHMS is the locking of the laser frequency to a cavity mode. We will present a recently developed compact NICE-OHMS spectrometer based on an erbium-doped fiber laser, whose narrow linewidth (1 kHz/120 s) simplifies the locking procedure significantly. The use of integrated-optics devices, such as a fiber-coupled electro-optic modulator, further reduces the complexity of the system. \noindent The fiber-laser-based NICE-OHMS spectrometer is capable of detecting both Doppler-broadened and sub-Doppler signals with a sensitivity in the 10 cm range, using a cavity with a finesse of 4800. The two detection modes will be compared and experimental results from CH and CO at 1531 nm under low pressure conditions will be presented. The dependence of signal strengths and shapes on analyte concentration and other experimental parameters (such as intracavity power and pressure, cavity FSR and FM detection phase), as well as the optimum detection conditions will be discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Fabry-Perot-cavity-based refractometry without influence of mirror penetration depth
No full textAssessments of refractivity in a Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity by refractometry often encompass a step in which the penetration depth of the light into the mirrors is estimated to correct for the fraction of the cavity length into which no gas can penetrate. However, as it is currently carried out, this procedure is not always coherently performed. Here, we discuss a common pitfall that can be a reason for this and provide a recipe on how to perform FP-cavity-based refractometry without any influence of mirror penetration depth.Errata: C.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Wavelength modulation absorption spectrometry from optically pumped collision broadened atoms and molecules
No full textA theoretical investigation of the influence of optical pumping on wavelength modulation absorption spectrometry (WMAS) signals from collision broadened atoms and molecules is presented. General expressions for the nf-WMAS signal from atomic and molecular systems, modeled as three-level systems that can accommodate both optical saturation and optical pumping, are derived by the use of a previously developed Fourier series-based formalism in combination with rate equations solved under steady-state conditions. The expressions are similar to those describing the nf-WMAS signal from two-level systems that can accommodate optical saturation [Schmidt FM, Foltynowicz A, Gustafsson J, Axner O, WMAS from optically saturated collision-broadened transitions. JQSRT 2005;94:225–54], the difference being the value of the saturation flux, wherefore the general parametric dependence of WMAS signals from optically pumped systems is the same as that from optically saturated systems. The additional effect of optical pumping on the WMAS signal is investigated for three typical cases: molecules or atoms in an ordinary atmosphere, atoms in an inert atmosphere, and atoms or molecules possessing metastable states. The possibility to describe any of these systems with a two-level model is investigated.</p
