Framing-camera tube development for the sub-100-ps range

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6757668
A new framing-camera tube is capable of recording two-dimensional image frames with high spatial resolution in the sub-100-ps range. Framing is performed by streaking a two-dimensional electron image across narrow slits; the resulting electron line images from the slits are restored into a framed image by a restorer deflector operating synchronously with the dissector deflector. Performance has been demonstrated in a prototype tube by recording 125-ps-duration framed images of 2.5-mm patterns. The limitation in the framing speed is in the external electronic drivers for the deflectors and not in the tube design characteristics. Shorter frame durations (below 100 ps) can be obtained by use of faster deflection drivers.
