picoseconds to nanoseconds – phenomena observable by dielectric spectroscopy; 1.2 picoseconds – switching time of the world's fastest transistor (845 GHz, as of 2006) [4] 1.7 picoseconds – rotational correlation time of water [5] 3.3 picoseconds (approximately) – time taken for light to travel 1 millimeter
An order of magnitude of time is usually a decimal prefix or decimal order-of-magnitude quantity together with a base unit of time, like a microsecond or a million years.In some cases, the order of magnitude may be implied (usually 1), like a "second" or "year".
10 nanoseconds – half-life of lithium-12; 12 nanoseconds – mean lifetime of a charged K meson [3] 20–40 nanoseconds – time of fusion reaction in a hydrogen bomb; 30 nanoseconds – half-life of carbon-21; 77 nanoseconds – a sixth (a 60th of a 60th of a 60th of a 60th of a second) 96 nanoseconds – Gigabit Ethernet Interpacket gap
10 nanoseconds, also a casual term for a short period of time. microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs millisecond: 10 −3 s: One thousandth of a second. Shortest time unit used on stopwatches. jiffy (electronics) ~ 10 −3 s: Used to measure the time between alternating power cycles. Also a casual term for a short ...
A nanosecond is equal to 1000 picoseconds or 1 / 1000 microsecond. Time units ranging between 10 −8 and 10 −7 seconds are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of nanoseconds. Time units of this granularity are commonly found in telecommunications, pulsed lasers, and related aspects of electronics.
Propagation delay timing diagram of a NOT gate A full adder has an overall gate delay of 3 logic gates from the inputs A and B to the carry output C out shown in red.. Logic gates can have a gate delay ranging from picoseconds to more than 10 nanoseconds, depending on the technology being used. [1]
For small-molecule solvents such as water or methanol at ambient temperature, solvent relaxation time is on the order of some tens of picoseconds whereas chromophore excited state lifetimes range from a few picoseconds to a few nanoseconds. Immediately after the transition to the ground electronic state, the solvent molecules must also ...
With a streak camera (picoseconds and slower) With intensified CCD (ICCD) cameras (down to 200 picoseconds and slower) With optical gating (femtoseconds-nanoseconds) - a short laser pulse acts as a gate for the detection of fluorescence light; only fluorescence light that arrives at the detector at the same time as the gate pulse is detected ...
