1毫微微秒是一个短得令人难以置信的瞬间,它相当于10~(15)秒;一秒钟所包含的毫微微秒数就等于三千万年共有多少秒。本月上旬,国际商业机械公司的科学家宣称他们已生成了世界上最短的光脉冲,仅为12毫微微秒;同样重要的是,他们所发明的这种装置(他们称之为“光压缩器”)每秒钟能够产生800个这样短而又短的闪光。 One femtosecond is an incredible instant, which is equivalent to 10 to 15 seconds; the second in femtoseconds is the same as the number of seconds in 30 million. Earlier this month, International Business Machines scientists claimed they had generated the shortest light pulses in the world at 12 femtoseconds, and just as importantly, the devices they invented (what they called “optical compressors ”) Produces 800 such short, short flashes per second.
