This longer wavelength afterglow can last days and Swift alerts ground-based observatories to join the spectacle.
Today, optical fibers can transport 10 billion bits of data per second on a single wavelength.
"In the future, people will be consuming a wavelength at a time--ten gigabits, " he said.
Those on a religious wavelength were far more likely to opt for the more prudent option.
WSJ: Jonah Lehrer on Religious Thoughts and Self-Control | Head Case
To be sure, that official said the two militaries were largely on the same wavelength.
Such techniques include fluorescence, paramagnetic resonance, microcalometry, circular dicroism, dual wavelength spectrophotometry, stop-flow spectrometry among others.
Who are the ones you really connect with and feel on the same wavelength as?
In 1998 chipmakers took up so-called deep ultraviolet light, which has a wavelength of 0.248 microns.
There is a trade-off, though: the shorter a beam's wavelength, the less deeply it can penetrate.
The technology demonstrated by the UC Riverside researchers was in the 385 nm wavelength.
FORBES: What is the Future of Optical Disc Technology and who will Use It?
Whatever the reason, I'm glad that we finally managed to get on Mr. Albee's wavelength.
That measurement uses another sort of optical distortion this time of the wavelength of light.
ECONOMIST: Cosmology: I spy with my little gravitational lens | The
The energy of a packet of light -- or "photon" -- is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
We literally get on the same wavelength as the leader the one with the best undertones!
FORBES: What Is the Most Neglected Piece of Equipment in the Public Speaker's Arsenal?
Cones, which are responsible for colour vision, come in three varieties, each tuned to a particular wavelength.
Current Blu-ray lasers emit light in the blue part of the electromagnetic spectrum (about 405 nm wavelength).
FORBES: What is the Future of Optical Disc Technology and who will Use It?
Synthetic green lasers are infrared lasers that are manipulated to reduce their wavelength to produce a green light.
The number of times it vibrates per second (frequency) and the size of its waves (wavelength) vary inversely.
FORBES: Wave Of Consolidation May Be Coming In Military Electronics
In the late 1980s they turned to ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength (0.435 microns and smaller).
That lengthens the wavelength of the light and shifts it towards the red end of the colour spectrum.
"It is not trivial to make the necessary amount of laser light at a specific wavelength, " Robicheaux said.
That is far wider than is needed to accept a wavelength of natural light, which spans only 0.6 microns.
In the late 1980s they turned to ultraviolet light, which has a shorter wavelength (0.435 microns and even smaller).
The features on a chip would shrink so much that they would be smaller than a wavelength of light.
The laser Mr Hansen uses emits light with a wavelength of 2, 940 nanometres, which is primarily absorbed by water.
Through these aerials, you are broadcasting a signal on a wavelength for which you do not have a license.
The wavelength of this radiation is remarkably pure, but like a musical note it has harmonics associated with it.
The atoms in the gas will absorb certain colours of light, each of which corresponds to a particular wavelength.
At the moment, the earth-observation satellites which employ microwaves generally use short-wavelength radiation, because this provides more detailed images.
This is the wavelength of the infra-red light normally used in optical communications.
