This paper describes the methods used by EG and G Energy Measurements to characterize a streak tube. Both radiometric (QE, uniformity, gain, linearity, extinction ratio, opacity) and resolution (static, spatial, and temporal) tests are covered. The significance of these measurements with respect to streak camera applications is discussed. The results of the measurements on a streak tube designed and built by EG and G Amador Valley Operations are included as an illustration. 6 refs.
