We have designed and built an x-ray streak camera with subpicosecond time resolution. This camera attains its fast temporal resolution through a very strong extraction field, 100,000 V/cm, at the photocathode. It incorporates a narrow electron emission band photocathode that will also help the time resolution. The total time resolution has been calculated to be near 600 fs.
