A system which couples Cerenkov emission with a gated electrooptic effect to allow viewing of Cerenkov radiation in sub nanosecond time-scales is disclosed. Cerenkov radiation is generated by transmitting an electron beam through a transparent medium with a high index of refraction. The Cerenkov radiation is then gated into a sample pulse of subanosecond duration by an electrooptic crystal which has an index of refraction controlled by an electric field. the electrooptic crystal is opaque to the Cerenkov radiation until receiving a 6.0 kV voltage for about 750 picoseconds, upon which a pulsed sample of Cerenkov radiation is transmitted to a display system.
