Near-Infrared
The shortest wavelengths of the infrared region, nominally 750 to 2,500 nanometers. Also see How Thermal Imaging and Infrared Technology Works.
Nanometer (nm)
A unit of length in the metric system equal to one billionth of a meter. Nanometers are the most common unit used to describe the manufacturing technology used in the semiconductor industry and the most common unit to describe the…
MOA (Minute Of Angle)
Commonly used in the shooting world as a point of reference, a Minute Of Angle is 1.047 inches at 100 yards. Normal shooter application uses the simplified 1” at 100 yards. For perspective, the difference between using the exact 1.047…
Milliwatts (mW)
A milliwatt is equal to one thousandth of a watt. A watt is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) and measures the rate of energy conversion. One watt is equivalent to 1 joule of…
Milliradians (mrad)
A unit of measurement used to determine the divergence of a laser beam. The miliradian is equal to 0.001 radians and corresponds to an error of 1 meter at 1,000 meters.
