Could it be mw/cm^2 or "power >density?" Possibly? - I can't say I've ever paid much attention, you have to use an approved meter, calibrated yearly, and it has to read under 5mW (or 0.5mW in the USA). Presumably there's more to the specification, but it's not of any use in practice - unless you are manufacturing test equipment?. -- Nigel. /--------------------------------------------------------------\ | Nigel Goodwin | Internet : nigelg@lpilsley.co.uk | | Lower Pilsley | Web Page : http://www.lpilsley.co.uk | | Chesterfield | Official site for Shin Ki and New Spirit | | England | Ju Jitsu | \--------------------------------------------------------------/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
