Abstract: A SI-traceable Rydberg atom radiofrequency power meter determines power of reference radiofrequency radiation and includes: a reference radiofrequency source that provides reference radiofrequency radiation; a vapor cell including: a pair of parallel-plate waveguides; a vapor cell wall including parallel opposing faces of the parallel-plate waveguides; and the vapor space physically bounded by the vapor cell wall to contain gas atoms in an optical overlap volume; and a transmission detector that receives the output light from the vapor cell and produces a transmission signal from the transmission detector for determination of power of the reference radiofrequency radiation, wherein the SI-traceable Rydberg atom radiofrequency power meter determines power of the reference radiofrequency radiation by electromagnetically induced transparency of the gas atoms in a Rydberg electronic state, the determination of power being traceable to the International System of Units (SI).

Abstract: Performing critical-dimension localization microscopy includes: subjecting a first dimensional member and a second dimensional member of a reference artifact to critical-dimension metrology, the first and second dimensional members, in combination, including a critical dimension and each independently providing optical contrast; determining a primary length of the critical dimension to be traceable to International System of Units meter; imaging in a calibrant optical field, by optical microscopy, the first dimensional member and the second dimensional member, the calibrant optical field disposed in an ocular optical field; determining, from the optical microscopy of the first dimensional member and the second dimensional member, a secondary length and a secondary length uncertainty of the critical dimension subjected to the critical-dimension metrology; and calibrating the calibrant optical field and the secondary length, to the primary length to establish traceability of the secondary length to the International System of Units meter to perform critical-dimension localization microscopy.
