A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. (10^-12). Or one thousandth of a nanosecond.
1 picosecond = 1*10-12 seconds (a trillionth)
Nanosecond.
yes
10-12 of a second.or one trillionth, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds
One billion. 1 millisecond = 1/1000th of a second. 1 microsecond = 1/1,000,000 of a second. 1 nanosecond = 1,000,000,000 of a second. 1 picosecond = 1,000,000,000,000. 1000 x 1,000,000,000 = 1 trillion. 1 picosecond is a trillionth of a second.
What fraction of a second is 1 picosecond?
a picosecond, 1 second x 10^-12
1 picosecond = 1*10-12 seconds (a trillionth)
Picosecond lasers have a variety of uses. Some of the most common uses for picosecond lasers are in the medical field in such procedures as laser eye surgery and tattoo removal.
A nanosecond is larger than a picosecond. Specifically, one nanosecond is equal to 1,000 picoseconds. Therefore, when comparing the two, a nanosecond represents a longer duration than a picosecond.
In one picosecond, which is one trillionth of a second, light can travel approximately 0.3 millimeters in a vacuum. This distance is equivalent to about the width of a piece of paper.
A picosecond laser releases pulses in picoseconds and are a variety of ultra fast lasers. RP Photonics has detailed information on picosecond lasers which one may find useful.
