This manual describes the tests used at EG and G Energy Measurements, Inc., Los Alamos Operations (LAO) to characterize streak tubes. Both resolution (static, dynamic spatial, and dynamic temporal) and radiometric (linearity and radiant gain, extinction ratio, opacity, and quantum efficiency/photocathode uniformity) measurements are covered,a nd the significance of these measurements with respect to streak camera applications is discussed. Results from characterization tests done on a typical streak tube have been included in these tests as examples.
