The Fundamental Thermodynamics Group at NIST maintains national measurement standards for temperature, humidity, pressure, vacuum, and leaks. Their work is crucial for advancing measurement of thermodynamic quantities using traditional precision measurements, optics, nanophotonics, and quantum-based metrology. The group collaborates nationally and internationally, and engages in metrology education and outreach. They invite collaboration on joint research, technology, and standards development projects. Some notable projects include a triple point immersion cell, deformometer for optical cavity optics, photonic calorimeter, photonic dosimeter, uniaxial counter-propagating monolaser atom trap, high-resolution photonic thermometer, photonic quantum dew point sensor, and an optofluidic flow meter.
