  • Page 14: Overview

    3. OVERVIEW OVERVIEW The C10910 Streak Camera can be used as a synchroscan sweep model (with a temporal resolution of 1 ps or better *1), as a fast single sweep model (with a temporal resolution of 1 ps or better *1), or as a slow single sweep model (with a temporal resolution of 20 ps or better), simply by replacing the plug-in module.

  • Page 15: Characteristics

    C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E E: Phosphor screen Luminescence light is happened when electrons are came. The light passes through a slit and forms an image on the photocathode of the streak tube. The photocathode converts the light into electrons, and these electrons are directed towards a phosphor screen by accelerating mesh.

    (1 ps about C10910) due to the intensity-dependency, and the point corresponding to the noise level of the readout system.
  • Page 17 C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E Gating: This is an operation carried out in order to render the streak camera temporarily insensitive. If light positioned before and after the measured light is entered to the streak camera, the photoelectrons produced by that light will be scattered and multiplied inside the streak tube, which causes optical noise to appear on the streak image, and lower the S/N of the streak image.
  • Page 18 C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E multiplied into as many as 1000 using this process. Output Optics: This is an optics which is positioned between the phosphor screen and the readout camera. It is used to form an image on the readout camera which reads the streak image formed on the phosphor screen.
  • Page 19 C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E Temporal Resolution: This is the boundary of the resolution capability which differentiates two phenomena which are consecutive in terms of time. It is defined by the FWHM of the intensity of the streak image for the incident light with a time width (pulse width) which can be infinitely close to but not equal to zero.

  • Page 20: Protective Functions Of The Streak Camera

    Since no sweep deflection is performed in FOCUS mode, incoming light intensity is concentrated within the slit image and can cause burn-in or gain degradation at the MCP intensifier. The C10910 is designed to close the shutter automatically when continuous operation time in FOCUS mode reaches (approx.

(This operation to cut false signals is referred to as “return cut”...
  • Page 66 C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E (2) GATE This mode is only selectable when using a single sweep unit (cannot be selected on the synchroscan unit). In GATE mode, the streak tube operates only during the sweep period. This prevents a rise in background noise which is caused by the incident light outside the measurement period and also by dark current, allowing measurement with a good S/N ratio.

  • Page 67: Delay

    C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E (3) EXT.GATE This mode is usable with any combination regardless of what plug-in module is connected. In this mode, the streak tube operates only during any desired time period. This operation is shown in the timing chart below.

  • Page 68: Single Mode

    C10910 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Ver.1.19E 10-7-2 SINGLE MODE In this mode, after a sweep ends the next sweep cannot start until a reset signal is received. Sweep operation will not start even if sweep triggers are input to each plug-in module after a sweep ends.
