Ultrafast x-ray imagers developed at Sandia National Laboratories are a transformative diagnostic tool in inertial confinement fusion and high energy density physics experiments. The nanosecond time scales on which these devices operate are a regime with little precedent, and applicable characterization procedures are still developing. This paper presents pulsed x-ray characterization of the Icarus imager under a variety of illumination levels and timing modes. Results are presented for linearity of response, absolute sensitivity, variation of response with gate width, and image quality.
