A simple, compact, high performance streak camera system, using a new streak tube with a microchannel plate as an electron image intensifier, has been developed. The system consists of a streak camera and an automatic data acquisition system with a silicon intensified target vidicon camera and a video analyser employing a microcomputer. First of all, the basic concept for designing the streak tube is discussed, comparing performances of the new tube with those of a streak tube followed by an image intensifier tube. The recent progress of the development of the tubes including ultraviolet, infrared and X-ray streak tubes is also presented. Performance characteristics of the streak camera system, such as temporal resolution of better than 10 ps (f.w.h.m.) in a linear dynamic range of better than 100 at relatively small jitter of approximately ± 50 ps, are also presented.

We describe a streak camera system that is capable of both spatial and spectral measurements of laser-induced plasma. The system is based on a Hamamatsu C4334 streak camera and SpectraPro 2300i spectrograph. To improve the analysis of laser-induced plasma development, it is necessary to determine the timing of laser excitation in regard to the time scale on streak images. We present several methods to determine the laser signal timing on streak images—one uses the fast photodiode, and other techniques are based on the inclusion of the laser pulse directly on the streak image. A Nd:YAG laser (λ = 1064 nm, Quantel, Brilliant B) was employed as the excitation source. The problem of synchronization of the streak camera with the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is also analyzed. A simple modification of the spectrograph enables easy switching between the spectral and spatial measurement modes.
