The framing streak camera C4187 is able to analyze ultra-fast optical phenomena in both framing and streak modes through the interchangeable plug-in units. In addition, a wide variety of peripheral devices allow you to configure your own system for your specific applica- tion. High-speed Framing Rate Up To 3-million Frames/sec SYSTEM CONFIGURATION The HPD-TA is a high-performance digital data acquisition and control system specifically de- signed to read out images from the C4187 framing or streak camera’s phosphor screen. The entire system is controlled through a powerful but user-friendly software application that runs on a Microsoft Windows platform. * A read out system based on the ® computer is also available. Please consult with our sales office for more details. The Hamamatsu C4187 is a framing streak camera specially designed for the observation and analysis of ultra-fast optical phenomena. The interchangeable plug-in units give easy ac- cess to two types of imaging operations: Framing and Streak. In framing mode, the C4187 performs continuous imaging up to 8 frames at a framing rate up to 3 million frames/sec. and a minimum exposure time of 50 ns. In addition, in streak mode, the C4187 measures ultra-fast optical phenomena of 10 ps temporal resolution and provides time, light intensity, and position (or wavelength) information simultaneously. Employing a designed ultra-fast imaging tube, the C4187 makes it possible to observe and analyze ultra-fast optical phenomena at low light levels previously impossible. The C4187 can be further enhanced by use of a real-time readout system, which is composed of a high-sensitivity video camera, a data analyzer and other peripheral equipment which can analyze image data of optical phenomena in real-time.

FEATURES

lTwo types of imaging modes: framing and streak lA frame rate up to 3 million frames/sec and a minimum exposure time of 50 ns The frame rate and the exposure time can be continuously adjusted between 100 frames/sec and 3 million frames/sec, and 50 nanoseconds and 1 millisecond, respectively lContinuously adjustable frame rate and exposure time lSwitchable number of frames up to 8 frames lExternal synchronization lMulti-exposure imaging lWide wavelength range: 200 nm to 850 nm lUltra-high sensitivity imaging lDedicated real-time readout system OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF FRAME RATE AND SHUTTER SPEED MODE1: When inputting an external trigger pulse, continuous N-frame images (N=1,2,4,8) are automatically performed with constant exposure time Te and frame interval Ti. MODE2: Whenever inputting external trigger pulses, each one frame image is performed. The exposure time Te is constant. Synchronous imaging with laser pulses are also possible. MODE3: Imaging with exposure time and frame interval based on trigger signal using a multipulse generator C4398 is per- formed. The exposure time and frame interval can be set by a multi-pulse generator C4398. SPECIFICATIONS
