The ultrafast streak camera is presently the only comprehensive temporal diagnostic tool available for laser-fusion studies. An internally emplaced CCD readout system has been designed to minimize the data reducing complexity, cost, and time delay associated with the present phosphor/intensifier/film readout technique. Experimental results using the front-illuminated Fairchild 202 CCD and the back-illuminated RCA SID 52501 CCD for direct imaging of the streak-camera photoelectrons are presented. The important sensor requirements which optimize the performance of the CCD in the streak-camera application have been defined.
