• Use these formats for best results: Smith or J Smith
• Use a comma to separate multiple people: J Smith, RL Jones, Macarthur

Any : All :

Tips for preparing a search:

Keep it simple - don't use too many different parameters.
Separate search groups with parentheses and Booleans. Note the Boolean sign must be in upper-case.
- Example: (diode OR solid-state) AND laser [search contains "diode" or "solid-state" and laser]
- Example: (photons AND downconversion) - pump [search contains both "photons" and "downconversion" but not "pump"]
Improve efficiency in your search by using wildcards.

Asterisk ( * ) -- Example: "elect*" retrieves documents containing "electron," "electronic," and "electricity"
Question mark (?) -- Example: "gr?y" retrieves documents containing "grey" or "gray"

Use quotation marks " " around specific phrases where you want the entire phrase only.
For best results, use the separate Authors field to search for author names.
Author name searching:
- Use these formats for best results: Smith or J Smith
- Use a comma to separate multiple people: J Smith, RL Jones, Macarthur
- Note: Author names will be searched in the keywords field, also, but that may find papers where the person is mentioned, rather than papers they authored.

Abstract

Photon shot noise is the ultimate limit on SNR measurements of optical information. It thus represents the ultimate limit as well for an ideal FT-IR spectrometer. Calculation of this limiting performance is useful in evaluation of the performance of existing real instruments.
