A framing camera tube for the sub-100 picosecond range
Abstract
An electronic framing camera tube featuring focal plane image dissection and synchronized restoration of the dissected electron line images to form two-dimensional framed images has been developed. Ultra-fast framing is performed by first streaking a two-dimensional electron image across a narrow slit, thereby dissecting the two-dimensional electron image into sequential electron line images. The dissected electron line images are then restored into a framed image by a restorer deflector operated synchronously with the dissector deflector. The number of framed images on the tube's viewing screen is equal to the number of dissecting slits in the tube. The distinguishing features of this ultra-fast framing camera tube are the focal plane dissecting slits, and the synchronously-operated restorer deflector. The framing camera tube can produce image frames having high spatial resolution of optical events in the sub-100 picosecond range.
