Example types with picosecond
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
In 1984, the first photoconductive antennas for picosecond electromagnetic radiation were demonstrated by Auston and others. (16 words)
A molecule rotates about 1 radian per picosecond in a fluid, thus this loss occurs at about 10 11 Hz (in the microwave region). (24 words)
This allows the observation of coupling between different vibrational modes; because of its extremely fine time resolution, it can be used to monitor molecular dynamics on a picosecond timescale. (29 words)
This makes for a 160-picosecond light pulse for argon (even a small drop in temperature causes a large drop in ionization, due to the large ionization energy relative to photon energy). (32 words)
This allows the observation of coupling between different vibrational modes; because of its extremely fine time resolution, it can be used to monitor molecular dynamics on a picosecond timescale. (29 words)
