Encyclopedia > Picometer

Picometre (American spelling: picometer) is an SI measure of length that is equal to 10−12 of a metre.  Its symbol is pm and it is commonly used in measuring atomic-scale distances.  Atom diameters are in the range from ~30 to 600 pm.


1 pm = 1 × 10−12 metre
1 pm = 1000 femtometre
100 pm = 1 ångström
1000 pm = 1 nanometre
1 nm = 1000 picometres

bi - Picometer Ellipsometer (446 words)
In contrast to conventional ellipsometers based on the nulling technique, the Picometer Ellipsometer uses phase modulation to achieve a higher sensitivity and lower noise under almost any measurement condition.
The Picometer Ellipsometer is more than just an ellipsometer: it is a base system that can be configured for a variety of optical measurements.
When operated at normal incidence the Picometer Ellipsometer becomes a fast and highly sensitive instrument for studying reflectance anisotropy.

Demonstrate the capability to measure the relative orientations of 3 collinear interferometer baselines to 100 picometers in 3-D
Orientation of each baseline is determined from 3-D position of a pair of corner cubes at each end of the baseline
Demonstrate that a set of 1-D laser gauges can be configured into an "optical truss" to make 3-dimensional 100 picometer level measurements
