Image-Converter Tube Camera with a Nanosecond Control System
Image-Converter tubes such as the electron-optical transducers PIM-UMI1 have a limiting time resolution of about 3 ps which is limited only by the time of establishing the electron image in the plane of the screen.2 This time resolution was obtained in experiments with circular scanning of the image from miniature spark discharges.3 However, circular scanning has not found broad application in the field of physical experimentation, and the method of linear scanning of a slit aperture is now used for studying high-speed processes. Maximum time resolution of electron-optical transducers is reached for a scanning time of 1 to 1.5 ns; pulses of such duration can be applied to the control plates of the electron-optical transducers, the resonance frequencies of which are about 250 to 350 MHz.
