Development of an x-ray framing camera

An ultrafast x-ray framing camera is being developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to be used as a diagnostic instrument in laser experiments. The framing camera is designed to provide temporal resolution of 50 ps and spatial resolution of 30 ..mu.. at the image plane. The unique design incorporates the x-ray photocathode directly into a suspended-strip transmission line. The photocathode is gated using a high-voltage (-5 kV) pulse of short duration generated with a photoconductive switch. The photoelectrons are extracted through an unbiased microchannel plate and are directly detected with a charge-coupled device in the electron-bombardment mode. We report on current progress in the fabrication, characterization, and integration of the various components of the instrument.
