Picosecond framing camera is one of the key diagnostic tools for laser produced plasma physics study because of its high temporal resolution and two dimensions spatial resolving ability. The technology of gating MCP in image intensifier with picosecond high voltage pulse for ultrahigh speed photography, has been developed worldwide during the last 10 years. High voltage pulse of 140 ps in width and 2.7 kV was generated to gate the multiframe images on a meander shape microstripline on MCP. The measurement time range was extended to 1.1 ns while the exposure time of each image is 60 ps. The measured spatial resolution of the framing camera is 25 lp/mm. New method to reduce the exposure time down to 10 ps was simulated numerically.
