Sentence examples for tunable from inspiring English sources

Nortel, for example, paid $3.25 billion for an optical-switch maker called Xros and $1.43 billion for CoreTek, which makes comparable microsystems for tunable lasers.While its rivals have been making strategic acquisitions, Lucent, one of the world's leading optical-technology companies, prefers to rely on its own resources.

Today, instead of being a crude tunable circuit built of coils and condensers, a radio is more likely to be a piece of software burned into a DSP (digital signal processor) chip that can reconfigure itself on the fly—hopping from channel to channel, thousands of times a second, while seeking gaps through which to send bursts of data.

Intense, tunable (adjustable-wavelength) light sources now span most of the visible, near-infrared, and near-ultraviolet portions of the spectrum.

Typically, light from a tunable laser (examples include dye lasers, semiconductor diode lasers, or free-electron lasers) is directed into the sample to be studied just as the more traditional light sources are used in absorption or emission spectroscopy.

Modern tunable lasers can easily resolve spectral features less than 106 hertz wide, while the highest-resolution grating spectrometers have resolutions that are hundreds of times lower.

The bellows-blown musette, fashionable in French society under Louis XIV, had one, later two, cylindrical chanters (the second extending the range upward) and four tunable drones bored in a single cylinder.

Tunable laser sources with extremely narrow bandwidths and high intensity routinely achieve a resolution on the order of the Doppler line width (0.001 0.05 nanometre).

Using infrared microspectroscopy, Yuanbo Zhang and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, demonstrated a continuously tunable bandgap in bilayer graphene, a material consisting of two one-atom-thick layers of carbon atoms.

In a tunable oscillator, such as that required for a radio receiver, the parallel combination of an inductor and a capacitor is a tuned circuit: at one frequency, and only one, the inductive effects and the capacitive effects balance.

Titanium atoms doped into synthetic sapphire can generate stimulated emission across an exceptionally broad range and are used in wavelength-tunable lasers.

Configurable Dynamics, a driver-tunable system for suspension, steering, throttle and transmission settings that was previously exclusive to V6-engined models, is also being offered on the AWD XF.
