- Time dilationTime dilationIn the theory of relativity, time dilation is an observed difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from gravitational masses. An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at...
, in physics (relativity theory) - Time stretch analog-to-digital converterTime stretch analog-to-digital converterTime-stretch analog-to-digital converter is an analog-to-digital converter system that has the capability of digitizing very high bandwidth signals that cannot be captured by conventional electronic ADCs. Alternatively, it is also known as the Photonic Time Stretch digitizer, since it uses an...
