Sentences with phrase «microsecond pulses»

Not exact matches

So far, this drastic increase in speed takes about 5 to 10 minutes to trigger with the 150 - watt mercury lamp the researchers used, but Leigh says more powerful laser pulses could set off turbo boosts in a microsecond or less.

The physicists first pump up certain atoms in the glass with a two - and - half - microsecond sound pulse of carefully chosen intensity and frequency.

Astronomers spotted variations of just a few microseconds in the timing of these pulses, revealing that at least two small planets tug the pulsar back and forth as they orbit.

The source now unveiled by the University of Warsaw physicists represents the first implementation of this concept, and one that's much more integrated: here, all the photons are created immediately within the quantum memory as a result of the laser pulse, which lasts only microseconds.

New synchrotron facilities, such as the Advanced Photon Source, offered bright, short X-ray pulses, which could capture the microseconds or less timescales of many excited states.
