Title: Characterization of the hardened single line of sight camera at the National Ignition Facility

The hardened single line of sight camera has been recently characterized in preparation for its deployment on the National Ignition Facility. The latest creation based on the pulse-dilation technology leads to many new features and improvements over the previous-generation cameras to provide better quality measurements of inertial confinement fusion experiments, including during high neutron yield implosions. Here, we present the characterization data that illustrate the main performance features of this instrument, such as extended dynamic range and adjustable internal magnification, leading to improved spatial resolution.
