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
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.
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 ...
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 ...
