General Information
The NIST Quantum Electronics and Photonics Division develops and maintains the U.S. national standards for the characterization of lasers, along with detectors and other optical and optoelectronic components used with lasers and in laser-based systems. These standards support applications of lasers in manufacturing, electronics, medicine, communications, and the military, among other fields, and are generally used to provide calibrations of instruments used in these areas.
For calibrating instruments used to measure the power or energy emitted by a laser, specially designed standards consisting of several types of isoperibol (constant temperature environment) calorimeters have been developed and used for many years. Low-level laboratory standards are realized using solid-state photodetectors and other thermal detectors. Well-characterized transfer standards (calibrated against the primary standards) are also maintained as laboratory standards for calibrations and for use in Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) intercomparisons. As part of a continuing process, new standards are being developed and implemented to improve accuracy and dynamic range. In addition, the Division has developed an ultra-high accuracy laser power measurement capability using a laser optomized cryogenic radiometer (LOCR). The laboratory standards and secondary transfer standards are used in specially designed, beamsplitter-based calibration systems that allow various power and energy detectors to be compared to the standards.
The Quantum Electronics and Photonics Division maintains the capability of measuring other laser parameters, for example, beam profile and relative intensity noise. Because these measurements are generally less well defined than power and energy measurements, they are undertaken as Special Tests, after consultation with the customer. Instruments used in optical communications generally accept or receive optical power through a connectorized optical fiber. Wavelength ranges of interest are generally centered on 850 nm, 1300 nm, and 1550 nm. In addition to power measurements in these ranges, calibrations of the frequency response (or impulse response) of detectors and analog and digital receivers used in optical communications can be provided. NIST also provides several Standard Reference Materials for calibrating instruments used in optical communications.
The Quantum Electronics and Photonics Division can also characterize many other optical and optoelectronic components used with lasers. Within existing capabilities, Special Test measurements can be provided. Those needing such measurements are invited to contact the Division.

Table 4. Laser Power and Energy Measurement Capabilities
back to top | back to index of optical radiation measurements
Within the ranges listed in Table 4, NIST can perform calibrations at the power (or energy) and wavelength specified by the customer. These ranges are determined by the combined limits of our standards and available laser sources. For these measurements, the instrument to be measured is sent to NIST, where it is then compared to the appropriate laboratory reference standard using a calibrated beamsplitter measurement system. Normally, the response of the detector is characterized but no physical adjustments are made to the test instrument. At the completion of the calibration measurements, the instrument and a calibration report are sent to the customer. The calibration report summarizes the results of the measurements and provides a detailed listing of the associated measurement uncertainties. The laboratory standard isoperibol calorimeters used as references for these measurements were designed and built at NIST and all their critical parameters (electrical calibration coefficient, absorptivity, window transmittance, etc.) have been evaluated for the laser wavelengths and energies for which they are used. The characteristic voltage response of the standard isoperibol calorimeters is described by first principles of thermodynamics and linear system analysis. Accurate quantitative responsivity characterization (including linearity and stability) of the calorimeters is accomplished by periodically performed, electrical heater calibrations.
The laser power and energy measurements are accomplished using a calibrated beamsplitter arrangement in which both the standard and the test meter are exposed to the laser beam simultaneously. In addition to the isoperibol calorimeters, solid-state photodiodes and trap detectors are used as laboratory standards, especially at powers below 1 mW. The beamsplitters used in these systems have been characterized for all specific wavelengths for which they are used. Small angles of incidence are used to minimize polarization and angular position uncertainties. The laser sources used for these calibration measurements with the primary standards consist of the following types (subject to change): (1) Helium-Cadmium (325 nm) (2) Helium-Neon (632.8 nm), (3) Argon ion (488.0 nm and 514.5 nm), (4) Nd:YAG (532 nm, 1064 nm and 1319 nm CW, and 1064 nm Q-switched), (5) diode laser (830 nm and 1550 nm), (6) Carbon dioxide (10.6 µm), (7) KrF excimer (248 nm), and (8) ArF excimer (193 nm).

Laser Power and Energy Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) (42120M)
The Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) is available at the wavelengths and powers listed in Table 4. The laser MAP intercomparisons are implemented by means of transfer standards, which have been evaluated and characterized relative to the national primary standards. The measurement system and primary standards discussed above are used to calibrate the transfer standards for the intercomparisons. The characteristics of these transfer standards are well understood, and their associated accuracies do not differ significantly from those associated with direct comparisons to the primary standards. For a specified wavelength and power or energy, the appropriate transfer standard is selected and sent from NIST to the MAP participant. The participant calibrates the NIST transfer standard using their measurement system and then returns both his data and the transfer standard to NIST. Before and after the NIST transfer standard is shipped to the participant, NIST performs calibration measurements on the detector to provide continuity during the intercomparison. At the completion of the intercomparison, NIST evaluates the participants' measurement results relative to the NIST calibration results on this same meter. A MAP intercomparison report summarizing the intercomparison and listing the associated measurement uncertainties is then submitted to the participant. Customers who have the capability and require higher accuracy may request MAP services using appropriate high-accuracy transfer standards such as the photodiode trap detectors.

Optical Fiber Power Meter (or Detectors Used with Lasers) Calibrations (42130C-42131C)
Optical fiber power meters are calibrated using an automated calibration system in which the test meter and the laboratory standard are alternately exposed to a stable diode laser source. During the measurement process, the input power to the test meter is monitored with a fiber coupler and reference detector assembly. Table 5 summarizes the current capabilities of this system. The laboratory standard used for these measurements is an electrically calibrated pyroelectric radiometer (ECPR) that has been calibrated with a laser optimized cryogenic radiometer (LOCR) primary standard. Various diode laser sources are used to provide the available wavelengths. The calibrations can be accomplished with either a collimated beam or a connectorized fiber configuration. We can accommodate most commonly used fiber connectors (such as FC/PC, ST, biconic, SC, SMA, FC/APC, HMS-10 etc.).
Table 5. Measurement Capabilities of Automated Calibration System for Optical Fiber Power Meters

Optical Fiber Power Meter Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) (42140M)
NIST maintains a set of calibrated transfer standards, which are available for MAP intercomparisons of optical fiber power meters. These transfer standards are calibrated at the wavelengths listed in Table 5using the optical fiber power meter calibration system discussed above. If the MAP is to be conducted using a fiber with attached connector, then the customers are asked to provide the specific fiber and connector which is used in their laboratories. As in the laser MAP procedures listed above, measurements are made on the NIST transfer standard both before and after the MAP participant's measurements are conducted. At the conclusion of the MAP process, a calibration report that summarizes the measurements and associated uncertainties is sent to the participant.

Low-Level Laser Radiometer Calibrations and Measurement Assurance Program (MAP) and Calibrations (42150M and 42151C)
NIST has designed and constructed special silicon and germanium diode detectors to measure pulse energy and peak power of low-level, 1064 nm laser pulses of about 10 ns to 150 ns duration. These diode detectors have been evaluated for spatial uniformity, bandwidth, and linearity, and are used as transfer standards for intercomparisons. The output response of each detector has been calibrated against a transfer standard which, in turn, has been calibrated against the C-series calorimeter. The system for calibrating these transfer standards uses a CW Nd:YAG laser whose radiation is acousto-optically modulated to produce short, well defined pulses. The beam intensity is attenuated to low-levels using a multiple reflection precision wedge beamsplitter. The transfer standards are available for intercomparisons at the powers listed in Table 6. Calibration Service 42151C provides calibration of transfer standards similar to those described above for the MAP service that are provided by the customer.

Special Test for Frequency Response Measurements of Detectors (42160S)
NIST measures the frequency response of photodetectors using the difference frequency beat note from 2 single frequency lasers operating at 850 nm, 1319 nm, or 1550 nm. Measurements can be performed between 50 GHz and approximately 1 MHz, depending on the wavelength. Normalized frequency response is proportional to the ratio of the generated microwave power to the DC power supplied through the bias current. A photodetector suitable for calibration includes a connectorized fiber pigtail and precision coaxial microwave connector. A calibration service is offered for the highest accuracy measurement, attained when the photodiode and power sensor are calibrated as one unit. A transfer standard of this type can be used to determine the optical modulation index of an arbitrary optical source with sinusoidal modulation. Options available include measurement of frequency response of a separate photodetector using NIST power sensors or normalization to optical power to give absolute response. These options degrade the measurement uncertainty due to power sensor calibration and fiber connector insertion loss, respectively. Measurements may also include correction for electrical impedance mismatch when separate power sensors are used.

Special Test for Impulse Response Measurements of Detectors (42161S)
NIST uses a mode-locked laser to generate optical pulses of approximately 100 fs duration at a wavelength of 1550 nm or 775 nm. The electrical impulse resulting from the optical input to the photodetector is measured by use of an electro-optic sampling technique. The measured waveform is Fourier-transformed; distortions due to impedance mismatch and loss are removed to give the magnitude and phase response of the photodiode. Results are reported at 200 MHz increments from dc to 110 GHz. Photodetectors suitable for testing must have a 75 ± 5 cm length pigtail and a 1.0 mm coaxial (male) electrical connector. The photodetector should be evaluated for linearity prior to measurement to ensure equivalence between time-domain and frequency-domain characterizations of the small-signal response. Photodetectors, suitable for calibration, are available for purchase from NIST. Customers who wish to submit their own photodetectors for calibration are strongly encouraged to contact Paul Hale to determine the suitability of their photodetector.

High Accuracy Laser Power and Energy Meter Calibration Service (42162C)
A laser optomized cryogenic radiometer (LOCR) is available in our measurement laboratory for ultra-high accuracy calibrations for laser power. Using this instrument as a reference, expanded (k=2) uncertainties as low as 0.05 % are available on request for certain wavelengths and measurement conditions. These high accuracy measurements are appropriate only for certain transfer standards (such as photodiode trap detectors) capable of maintaining high accuracies.

Spectral Responsivity Measurements of Laser and Optical Fiber Power Meters (or Detectors Used with Lasers) (42164C)
Spectral responsivity measurements on laser power meters and detectors used with lasers can be performed over the wavelength region 450 nm to 1700 nm. These spectral response measurements are accomplished using broadband light sources in conjunction with a scanning monochromator. These measurement results are not valid for measurement comparisons with fibers attached. High resolution spectral responsivity measurements can be performed over limited wavelength regions centered on 850 nm, 1300 nm, and 1550 nm using tunable laser diode systems (see for example 42130C).
back to top | back to index of optical radiation measurements
Special Test for Spatial Uniformity of Laser and Optical Fiber Power Meters (or Detectors Used with Lasers) (42165S)
Detector uniformity is measured using a specially designed system which provides a small beam of laser radiation (at nominal wavelengths of 850 nm, 1300 nm, or 1550 nm) which is scanned across the detector surface. The resulting detector output response is displayed graphically and analyzed statistically. This information is useful for characterizing the quality of a detector and for identifying interference effects caused by, for example, windows with parallel surfaces. Other wavelengths are available upon request.

Calibration for Linearity Measurements of Optical Fiber Power Meters (or Detectors Used with Lasers) (42166C)
Linearity of optical fiber power meters and detectors used with lasers can be measured at the three nominal wavelength regions of 850 nm, 1300 nm and 1550 nm using automated NIST-designed measurement systems. These systems are based on dual beam superposition, in which the radiation from two optical paths is incident (both jointly and individually) onto the detector. The system can provide linearity characterizations covering a 60 dB to 90 dB power range. Various other wavelengths and powers are also available upon request.

Special Test for Linearity Measurements of High-Power Laser Meters (or Detectors Used with Lasers) (42167S)
Linearity of high-power laser power meters and detectors can be measured at 1064 nm and 10.5 µm using automated NIST-designed measurement systems. These systems are based on a set of specially designed reflective chopper wheels, where the chopper attenuation factor is measured at various power levels. The system can provide linearity characterizations covering a 2 W to 900 W power range.

Special Test for General Laser Measurements (42170S)
The Quantum Electronics and Photonics Division conducts research not described specifically above on a variety of problems in the characterization of optoelectronics components. Consequently, we are interested in discussing and supporting all measurements involving laser detectors, sources, components, and instrumentation. Examples of measurement areas include beam profile, relative intensity noise (RIN), optical density or attenuation, and polarization (retardance).

Special Test for General Optical Fiber Power Measurements (42180S)
In support of instrumentation used with optical fiber power systems, various optical fiber power related measurements are available by request and prearrangement. These include power measurements at customer-selected wavelengths (in the ±20 nm regions around 850 nm, 1300 nm, and 1550 nm), optical attenuator characterization, high power measurements, and power meter measurements involving unusual connector or fiber types.

Special Test for Optical Fiber and Fiber Component Measurements (other than Fiber Power), by Prearrangement (42190S)
The Quantum Electronics and Photonics Division conducts research in a variety of areas relating to the characterization of optical fibers and fiber components. Most calibration support is in the form of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs). Occasionally, when support is needed in an area where an SRM is not available or cannot be used, we can perform special tests, by prearrangement. Examples include measurements of chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion (PMD), fiber geometrical parameters, and mode-field diameter.

Spectral Responsivity Measurements of Laser and Optical Fiber Power Meters (or Detectors Used with Lasers) (42210C)
NIST spectral responsivity measurements on laser power meters and detectors used with lasers can be performed over the wavelength region 450 nm to 1700 nm. A co-requisite for this service is three or more high resolution absolute responsivity measurements performed over limited wavelength regions near 670 nm, 850 nm, 1300 nm, and 1550 nm using tunable laser diode systems (see for example 42130C). The measurement results from the laser-based measurements are reconciled with measurements accomplished using broadband light sources in conjunction with a scanning monochromator over the wider wavelength region. Because of the necessary data analysis (curve fitting), these measurement results are provided at lower accuracy than those provided in 42164C, but are valid for meter comparisons with or without fibers attached.

Calibration Service for Instruments that Measure Laser Beam Diameter (42220C)
This measurement Service compares laser beam diameter measurements made with the NIST beam diameter measurement system with those made by a test meter (or device under test, DUT) (usually a laser beam profiler). The measured beam diameter is the second-order moment (or 4σ) beam diameter defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). A test laser beam, generated with a single-mode optical fiber and an optical fiber collimator at a wavelength of 830 nm, is used as a stable source for laser beam diameter measurements. The nominal beam diameter is 2.2 mm with a typical expanded (k=2) uncertainty of 0.3%.

To the poster who suggested that it was the consumer's fault for not getting the vehicle checked by their mechanic before purchasing... what you don't understand is that they will not ALLOW you to get it inspected by your mechanic unless you sign a contract FIRST and then you are told you have 5 days to return the car for any reason. They give you their version of a carfax report, which is in their favor. This preinspection is not negotiable with them. I called my mechanic on one vehicle, and SIX plus hours later, I was signing on a completely different vehicle, and was saved over the phone from a catastrophic failure, so I took the better of two evils, because I had no choice, my own vehicle had enough steam to die in their parking lot with an engine failure. I have bad credit because I have many medical issues, but I cut up all my credit cards 30 years ago, and pay for everything in cash. So... when you don't use credit, and pay for everything, the system works against you. This after owning and paying for 2 previous vehicles in full. I get no credit for that. This is day 5 for me owning this vehicle and based on the reviews that I've been seeing without the benefit of doing research beforehand, Drivetime lies through their teeth, and they need to be out of business. I do not have time at the moment to list everything they put us through, for their gain and our demise, but I would welcome any counsel to speak with, as well as other victims of this predatory company. Remember, not EVERYONE who deals with companies like Drivetime are dirtbags. Some of us have bad credit because of things outside our control, like disabilities and economic tragedies and hurricanes and earthquakes and car accidents totalling vehicles and bodies, that cannot be foreseen under the best of circumstances. So I will ask anyone that displays arrogance in a condescending manner to those of us who are less fortunate than yourselves, to kindly keep their comments to themselves. I was sold my car by a "pastor", who I've renamed "Mr. Wolf", and he's got bigger problems than any of us, he's got God to answer to. Ezekiel 33 in this case. Wouldn't want to be him one day.
To everyone whose been scammed.... we just need to keep documenting and hopefully another larger settlement, (other than the recent 8 MILLION DOLLAR settlement in November of 2014), will benefit those of us who are just trying to recover from tragedies. Justice would be to forgive the loans on everybody who got screwed by these people, with extra compensation for our trouble. Perhaps that would send a message, but I doubt it. I only posted this because I'm sick and tired of people who are NOT economically forced to deal with these predators, condescending and playing 20-20 hindsight to the rest of us who think we should have more common sense. Just be grateful you are not in our positions, shame on you for your chosen lack of ability to be sensitive to our situations.

Your report makes not one ounce of sense!! Your spelling it a joke. YOU purchased the car without a mechanic looking at it I am certain of. IF you turn this car back into them then you will have a repo on your credit therefore no one will finance a car for you. This is on you and NO I do not work for them.
Do your homework before you make a major purchase. This is your fault - you signed the papers without (once again) having the car inspected by a mechanic.

I had no idea how this happened. I called Verizon and they had me call Integretel who told me that it was for "Computer Reference".
After reading Rip-Off report I realized I was had. I am not sure what to do. I called them again and they offered me a 50% discount. I realized that I was being had.
Can you suggest what I can do to stop these people. I believe there may be a virus in my computer system which may be doing the automatic dialing. I have been cleaning my machine and I also put a block on all 900 calls.
Many thanks

ZAANDAM, Netherlands -- Ahold here said last week it will convert its 75 Edwards stores in New York and New Jersey to the Stop & Shop banner by the end of this year. Edwards has been operating as a division of Giant Food Stores, Carlisle, Pa., since mid-1996 but will be switched to the Stop & Shop banner beginning this summer "because the Edwards format is closer to Stop & Shop's high-low format than to the everyday-low-pricing format under which Giant operates," an Ahold ...

Release Date:
October 25, 1990
Guns N' Roses' debut, Appetite for Destruction was a turning point for hard rock in the late '80s -- it was a dirty, dangerous, and mean record in a time when heavy metal meant nothing but a good time. On the surface, Guns N' Roses may appear to celebrate the same things as their peers -- namely, sex, liquor, drugs, and rock roll -- but there is a nasty edge to their songs, since Axl Rose doesn't see much fun in the urban sprawl of L.A. and its parade of heavy metal thugs, cheap women, booze, and crime. The music is as nasty as the lyrics, wallowing in a bluesy, metallic hard rock borrowed from Aerosmith, ACDC, and countless faceless hard rock bands of the early '80s. It's a primal, sleazy sound that adds grit to already grim tales. It also makes Rose's misogyny, fear, and anger hard to dismiss as merely an artistic statement; this is music that sounds lived-in. And that's exactly why Appetite for Destruction is such a powerful record -- not only does Rose have fears, but he also is vulnerable, particularly on the power ballad "Sweet Child O' Mine." He also has a talent for conveying the fears and horrors of the decaying inner city, whether it's on the charging "Welcome to the Jungle," the ****** ode "Mr. Brownstone," or "Paradise City," which simply wants out. But as good as Rose's lyrics and screeching vocals are, they wouldn't be nearly as effective without the twin-guitar interplay of Slash and Izzy Stradlin, who spit out riffs and solos better than any band since the Rolling Stones, and that's what makes Appetite for Destruction the best metal record of the late '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

this is crap. I cant believe how wordpress became these places where all the plugins are half working get your shit together people dont say its working if its not.
Does not function properly. it is of no use really.
I got this the other day and then did some work updating my post collection. Unknown to me the "only send email once" check box kept turning off. I started the day with 62 subscribers and ended with 54 after reaching my 2,000 email a day limit.
I decided to double check again today, it had turned off that check box, so I saved it on again. Then I updated a post. It still sent out an email of the updated post.
I'm finding something else *now*. This plugin is off my site before I drop to 0 followers.
After I download the plug-in, I receive a vital failure when I attempt to activate it.
WordPress version: 3.6
Autochimp version: 2.15
Error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home1/ourquar2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/autochimp/autochimp.php on line 852

Some Like It Hotter
August 24, 2016,
In any fertility work-up, both male and female partners are tested if pregnancy fails to occur after a year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Fertility testing should especially be performed if a woman is over 35 years old or if either partner has known risk factors for infertility. An analysis of the man's semen should be performed before the female partner undergoes any invasive testing.
The first step in any infertility work up is a complete medical history and physical examination. Menstrual history, lifestyle issues (smoking, drug and alcohol use, and caffeine consumption), any medications being taken, and a profile of the patient's general medical and emotional health can help the doctor decide on appropriate tests.
Before embarking on an expensive fertility work-up, the following steps are free or low-cost and can be helpful:
Several laboratory tests may be used to detect the cause of infertility and monitor treatments:
Hormonal Levels. Blood and urine tests are taken to evaluate hormone levels. Hormonal tests for ovarian reserve (the number of follicles and quality of the eggs) are especially important for older women.
Examples of possible results include:
Clomiphene Challenge Test. Clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Serophene), a standard fertility drug, may be used to test for ovarian reserve. With this test, the doctor measures FSH on day 3 of the cycle. The woman takes clomiphene orally on days 5 and 9 of the cycle. The doctor measures FSH on the tenth day. High levels of FSH either on day 3 or day 10 indicate a poor chance for a successful outcome.
Tissue Samples. To rule out luteal phase defect, premature ovarian failure, and absence of ovulation, the doctor may take tissue samples of the uterus 1 - 2 days before a period to determine if the corpus luteum is adequately producing progesterone. Samples taken from the cervix may be cultured to rule out infection.
Tests for Autoimmune Disease. Tests for autoimmune disease, such as hypothyroidism and diabetes, should be considered in women with recent ovarian failure that is not caused by genetic abnormalities.
If an initial fertility work-up does not reveal abnormalities, more extensive tests may help reveal abnormal tubal or uterine findings. The four major approaches for examining the uterus and fallopian tubes are:
Combinations of these imaging procedures may be used to confirm diagnoses.
Ultrasound and Sonohysterography. Ultrasound is the standard imaging technique for evaluating the uterus and ovaries, detecting fibroids, ovarian cysts and tumors, and also obstructions in the urinary tract. It uses sound waves to produce an image of the organs and entails no risk and very little discomfort.
Transvaginal sonohysterography uses ultrasound along with saline infused into the uterus, which enhances the visualization of the uterus. This technique is proving to be more accurate than standard ultrasound in identifying potential problems. It is currently the gold standard for diagnosing polycystic ovaries.
Hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is a procedure that may be used to detect the presence of endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, pelvic scar tissue, and blockage at the ends of the fallopian tubes. Some of these conditions can be corrected during the procedure by cutting away any scar tissue that may be binding organs together or by destroying endometrial implants.
Hysteroscopy may be done in a doctor's office or in an operating room, depending on the type of anesthesia used. The procedure uses a long flexible or rigid tube called a hysteroscope, which is inserted into the vagina and advanced through the cervix to reach the uterus. A fiber optic light source and a tiny camera in the tube allow the doctor to view the cavity. The uterus is filled with saline or carbon dioxide to inflate the cavity and provide better viewing. This frequently causes cramping.
There are small risks of bleeding, infection, and reactions to anesthesia. Many patients experience temporary discomfort in the shoulders after the operation due to residual carbon dioxide that puts pressure on the diaphragm.
Hysterosalpingography. Hysterosalpingography is performed to discover possible blockage in the fallopian tubes and abnormalities in the uterus:
There is a small risk of pelvic infection, and antibiotics may be prescribed prior to the procedure.
Laparoscopy . Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. It requires general anesthesia and is performed in an operating room. The surgeon makes a very small incision below the belly button and inserts an instrument called a laparoscope, which is similar to a hysteroscope. (The difference is that a laparoscope is inserted through the abdomen, while a hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix.) Through the laparoscope, the surgeon can view the uterus, fallopian tube, and ovaries. Laparoscopy is most helpful for identifying endometriosis or other adhesions that may affect fertility.

Hey Jean,
I see that my favorite network posts solution has gotten even better! Just updating on my dev site and playing around with it before I take it live.
Love the change to custom post types - makes management so much easier.
One thing I'll have to customize for myself is the post limit. Although I think it's great that you've included it as a feature via the admin, I run the same feed in multiple locations, each with a different number of posts. So for me it's best that the info be added via shortcode to get the results I want where I want.
Thanks again!

The default aspect ratio for featured images in posts is 640:360. All of the photos I want to post are taller (relatively), and so the bottom of the photos is getting cut off. What should I change to adjust the aspect ratio of featured images?

The default aspect ratio for featured images in posts is 640:360. All of the photos I want to post are taller (relatively), and so the bottom of the photos is getting cut off. What should I change to adjust the aspect ratio of featured images?
I have the same problem. It sucks being a newbie :/
Would also like to know how to fix this issue. Thanks for an update!
[ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. Or better still - use the pastebin ]
These instructions detail how to get portrait oriented photos in a post. I did the following to create a 640x966 featured image (note: I am a developer):
1. created a post template for when I want to feature vertical pictures and replaced the get_image code with:
<?php if ( current_theme_supports( 'get-the-portrait' ) ) get_the_portrait( array( 'meta_key' => 'Thumbnail', 'size' => 'single-thumbnail', 'link_to_post' => false, 'image_class' => 'featured', 'attachment' => false, 'width' => 640, 'height' => 966, 'default_image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/single_image_placeholder.png' ) ); ?>
2. I modified the functions.php page to include:
add_theme_support( 'get-the-portrait' );
add_action( 'init', 'hatch_portrait_sizes' );
function hatch_portrait_sizes() {
add_image_size( 'archive-thumbnail', 220, 150, true );
add_image_size( 'single-thumbnail', 640, 966, true );
3. I created an extension file in /library/extensions called get_the_portrait.php and replaced every instance of the get_the_image with get_the_portrait.
4. I added the below to /library/hybrid.php:
/* Load the Get the Portrait extension if supported. */
require_if_theme_supports( 'get-the-portrait', trailingslashit( HYBRID_EXTENSIONS ) . 'get-the-portrait.php' );
5. I re-attached the featured image to the post.
Complicated, but voila! It worked.
Thank you for this improvement. I have a few clarifications for your instructions
1. This is done by copying post.php (in the
wp-content/themes/hatch folder) and renaming the copied file to e.g.
post-portrait.php and they editing line three to:
* Template name posts: Portait
2. functions.php is also in the hatch folder. You should add these lines at specific points:
line 45:
add_theme_support( 'get-the-portrait' );
line 58:
add_action( 'init', 'hatch_portrait_sizes' );
line 116:
the rest (or somewhere around there, don't put it inside another function)
3. This extension file is actually a copy of
get_the_image.php which can be found in this folder.
Btw, how can we change the images to portraits on the front page?
actually it would be best to add the last part that should be added to functions.php to line 238.
and a last correction to get the thumbs on the frontpage to be of the same size:
the rest to be added to functions.php should be:
function hatch_portrait_sizes() {
add_image_size( 'archive-thumbnail', 220, 332, true );
add_image_size( 'single-thumbnail', 640, 966, true );
This way, the archive thumbnail has the same ratio. This should also be changed in the home.php file, i.e.:
'height' => 332
a working example is on: http://www.finwiki.nl
I wanted to share what I think is THE fix for the original problem of Hatch cropping off the top and bottom of featured images.
First of all, I hear it's bad to alter the theme code, so create a child theme. This is very easy. My child theme consists of a folder (in the themes folder) called hatch-child. Into hatch child I put a style.css file with:
Theme Name: Hatch Child
Description: Child theme for Hatch theme
Author: stoatoffear
Template: hatch
@import url("../hatch/style.css");
Please bear in mind that the theme name "hatch" is case-sensitive.
Next create a functions.php file in the hatch-child folder with the following:
* @package Hatch Child
* @subpackage Functions
* @version 0.1
* @author DevPress
* @link http://devpress.com
* @license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
/* Do theme setup on the 'after_setup_theme' hook. */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'hatch_child_theme_setup', 11 );
function hatch_child_theme_setup() {
/* Get action/filter hook prefix. */
$prefix = hybrid_get_prefix();
/* Custom image sizes */
remove_action( 'init', 'hatch_image_sizes' );
add_action( 'init', 'mytheme_image_sizes' );
function mytheme_image_sizes() {
add_image_size( 'single-thumbnail', 640, 360 );
Then activate the theme in your site and voila! You will have to re-insert any images that have been cropped, plus the header image will also need to be re-done.
Check my site http://www.richardcalvert.com where you can see that the featured images are now not cropped.
I am a newbie too, so be sure to point out any improvements! I haven't noticed any problems yet though.
Hi stoatoffear, I've done everything you've said, activated the child-theme but the size of the featured image has not changed (after reinserting the images).
My site: http://www.shirazkhan.ca
Any ideas?
I see your site is still cropping the images the way Hatch specifies...
A: DId you delete/remove your featured image, then get a fresh one uncropped one?
B: Did you change the original Hatch theme in any way? - if so please intall a fresh copy.
C: Make sure you inserted the code exactly as show above - missing quotes, curly braces or brackets are fatal, but this code works on my site - it should work on yours.
D: How about pasting your code into this forum for us to scrutinize?
It works! Thank you very much for your simple and elegant solution.
It seems some of my old edited files in the hatch theme were still there. I restored the original files and the images no longer crop. Thanks again!
Also, it seems re-setting the feature image alone won't do it. You have to re-upload the image entirely.
Glad I could help somebody - Hatch takes whatever image you upload, crops it and stores a cropped version to use as the featured image, so you would have to scrap your featured images and choose an uncropped one to be your new featured image.
Also the good thing about creating a child theme is that now when a new version of Hatch is released you can upgrade without having to edit anything.
I tried working with the child theme, but I don't see any change to my images - they remain cropped and I desperately want them to appear in portrait orientation.
As per your instructions above I have:
A: Deleted and removed my featured image to get a fresh one uncropped one.
B: Installed a fresh copy in case I somehow made some change.
C: Made sure I inserted the code exactly as show above.
D: If I paste the code into this forum it will look exactly as it does above.
I have so many portraits I would like to upload, but I can't figure out how to fix this! If its any help, the original images are all exactly the same size 650 x 825 and thus the thumbnails will always be in the same proportions.
If you create your own thread, you're more likely to receive help.
Hi iondot - you might want to change your child theme to:
add_image_size( 'single-thumbnail', 650, 825, true );
Then try trashing a featured image, re-entering your correctly proportioned image as a featured image and see if that works.
I gave it a try. No luck.
You must have a typo somewhere - how about pasting your code here.
Theme Name: Hatch Child
Description: Child theme for Hatch theme
Author: stoatoffear
Template: hatch
@import url("../hatch/style.css");
* @package Hatch Child
* @subpackage Functions
* @version 0.1
* @author DevPress
* @link http://devpress.com
* @license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
/* Do theme setup on the 'after_setup_theme' hook. */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'hatch_child_theme_setup', 11 );
function hatch_child_theme_setup() {
/* Get action/filter hook prefix. */
$prefix = hybrid_get_prefix();
/* Custom image sizes */
remove_action( 'init', 'hatch_image_sizes' );
add_action( 'init', 'mytheme_image_sizes' );
function mytheme_image_sizes() {
add_image_size( 'single-thumbnail', 650, 825, true );
With regard to the above, I don't know what "Do theme setup on the 'after_setup_theme' hook" means. Perhaps I failed to do it?
Your code is okay - I copied it into my test site and it creates a featured image 650 x 825.
When I look at your site in Firebug, I can't see hatch-child in evidence at all - you say you have chosen that theme in the dashboard? Also that hatch-child is in a folder called "hatch-child" in the themes folder - the same place as the "hatch" folder?
Thanks for helping with this! You were right, the hatch-child wasn't being applied. It turns out WordPress wasn't recognizing the css file for the stylesheet - I'm not sure why, but I suspect the file itself was saved in the wrong format.
Any thoughts on how I could get 10 columns and 10 rows of smaller icons versus the present default?
Also, is there a way to not use the featured image, but just embed an image in the post without the blank box above?
see this example of embedded image:
featured image
and for some reason this post shows no image:
Any thoughts on how I could get 10 columns and 10 rows of smaller icons versus the present default?
ON Settings > Reading you can select how many blog posts to show - sounds like you should select "100".
The other stuff I don't know - I solved the featured image size issue and wanted to share my solution.
Hi Stoatoffear,
I know I'm just missing some basic info but I'm trying to create the child theme based on your above directions. I created it, but it's only giving me these options under the sheets (i.e. no functions.php):
RTL Stylesheet
How do I create the functions.php?
Don't know what "under the sheets" means (in this context).
You would be creating functions.php using your favourite text-editor (textWrangler, notepad etc) then probably you'd be aiming to insert that into your site folder (using your favourite FTP thingy - Filezilla?) it goes in wp-content>themes>hatch-child
Thanks Stoatoffear. I guess I'm just incapable of this. I can't get any text editors that either work with my version of Mac or they just don't seem to work when I upload them with Filezilla and put into wp-content>themes>hatch-child. Meaning, when I go to my child theme, there is no functions.php loaded. I really don't know what I'm doing and don't know what else to do. Is this the only way to solve this issue without editing the Hatch functions.php?? I've created child themes with no problem before when I was using an old theme but I think that is when I was not using WordPress. I guess I'm just in over my head now.
What version of Mac is it? I am using Textwrangler 4.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8
Using Filezilla - You're dragging the file functions.php from your desktop into the hatch-child folder on the remote server and it's not then showing up there? Are you sure you're connected to the server? Are you sure it's the same server as your site is on?
Yeah, textwrangler works with 10.6 or higher and I have 10.5.8. I tried using Mac notepad but it doesn't save each "note" so tried exporting it but then it's not doing that.
The filezilla part I'm doing right but when I tried it first time I was mistakenly using the standard Mac TextEdit as the source of the functions.php file so that was the problem. Otherwise I have the file in the right folder but now just can't seem to save the functions.php with an applicable text editor for my computer. At least one that is free.
There must be some text editor you can use - google free text editors and your OS version and I think this will start working for you.

I can't say enough how frustrating working with this product has been. I have several e-commerce sites and while they always have issues NOTHING has been a frustrating as debugging what should have been a working product.
The premium support is less than a joke, 2 and three days between responses, Easter break is understood. Still waiting for issues to be resolved after more than 2 weeks.
In a panic mode I completely set up zen-cart in less that 8 hours with complete functionality, I want to stay with wp-ecommerce, but the developers are making it difficult for me to stick with them.
We paid $40 for upgrades that simply do not work properly, I am very disappointed in the whole situation and at this point will never recommend this plugin to anyone.

Never miss another 'Young Rebel Set' show
Festival Of The North East - One Fine Day: Young Rebel Set
A day of music and entertainment celebrating the best of the North East talent as part of Festival North East.
Young Rebel Set
The mysterious troubadours that form Young Rebel Set preach full-blooded tales of tough love, hard luck and the triumph of romance against the odds. Every spit and sawdust jig is spun from the blood, sweat, tears, toil and glory of an extraordinary group and woven into a rousing patchwork of gritty urban folk.
