Title: L-Division streak camera manual

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5235582

The purpose of a streak camera is to display a transient flash of light from a point source as a linear streak. The spatial points in the streak correspond to the temporal sequence of intensities in the brightness distribution of the flash. The streak camera discussed is a modular system with a streak tube, control logic, and some pulsers which facilitate setting up experiments. The specifications of the streak camera and its various components are described, and operating instructions are given followed by the theory of operation. The use of the optoliner in the laboratory as an aid to experimental design is then discussed. The initial set-up of a streak tube is described in detail. (LEW)
