Universal Streak Camera C5680 Series

Measurements Ranging From X-Ray to Near Infrared With a Temporal Resolution of 2 ps

**The streak camera is an ultra high-speed detector which captures light

emission phenomena occurring in extremely short time periods. Not only can the streak camera measure intensity variations with superb temporal resolution, but it can also be used for simultaneous measurement of the spatial (or spectral) distribution.**

The C5680 Streak Camera Series is a universal streak camera which incorporates all of the specialized technology and expertise HAMAMATSU has acquired in over 20 years of research. The streak tubes are manufactured on a regular production schedule at Hamamatsu to provide consistency and reliability. Special requests and custom designs are also available.

FEATURES

• Temporal resolution of within 2 ps
A temporal resolution of 2 ps is achieved for both synchroscan and single shot.
• Several plug-in module, operating mode
• Accommodates a diverse range of experimental setups from single light emitting phenomena to high-speed repeated phenomena in the GHz.
• Can be used in X-ray to near infrared fields
By selecting the appropriate streak tube (light sensor), the C5680 can be used in a wide range of measurement applications, from X-rays to near infrared light
• Simultaneous measurement of light intensity on temporal and spatial (wavelength) axes
Spectrograph can be placed in front of the streak camera, to convert the spatial axis to a wavelength axis. This enables changes in the light intensity to be measured over various wavelength (time-resolved spectroscopy).
• Ultra-high sensitivity (detection of single photons)
The streak tube converts light into electrons which are then multiplied by an electron multiplier. This enables detection of extremely faint light (at the single-photon level). (See photon counting integration principle)
• IEEE-488 (GP-IB) control
Computer control enables remote control and advanced measurements to be performed out using very simple operation.
• Diverse selection of peripheral equipment
A full lineup of peripheral devices is available, including spectroscopes, optical trigger heads, and expansion units.

APPLICATIONS

• Measurement of electron bunch for synchrotron and LINAC applications
• Research involving X-ray lasers, free electron lasers, and various other types of pulsed lasers
• Plasma light emission, radiation, laser ablasion, combustion and explosions
• Fluorescence lifetime measurement, transient absorption measurement, time- resolved raman spectroscopy
• Optical soliton communications, response measurement with quantum devices
• Lidar Thomson scattering, laser distance measurement
