Streak Camera Systems
Cordin Streak Camera Systems are available based on two different core technologies: rotating mirror & image converter.
| Rotating Mirror | Image Converter | |
|---|---|---|
| Temporal Resolution | Sub-nanosecond | Picosecond |
| Spatial Resolution | Very high | Moderate |
| Dynamic Range | 12-14 bit | 4-8 bit |
| Image Noise | Very low | Moderate |
| Sensitivity | High | Very High |
| Physical Size | Large | Moderate |
| Complexity | High | Moderate |
| Applications | Explosives testing, complex velocity measurements, impact ballistics, synchro-ballistic imaging | Time resolved spectroscopy, laser studies, optical communications, semiconductor physics |
ROTATING MIRROR STREAK CAMERAS
Cordin Rotating Mirror Streak Cameras relay a slit image through a rotating mirror to capture a continuous record of one line of image information. This produces the highest temporal and spatial resolution streak image possible.
Cordin Rotating Mirror Streak Cameras have been a staple in leading labs for decades. The current models of digital cameras are a suitable replacement for and upgrade from the workhorse Cordin film streak cameras.
IMAGE CONVERTER STREAK CAMERAS
Cordin Image Converter Streak Cameras relay a slit image to the photocathode of an image converter tube, where the incident photons are converted to electrons. This linear array of electrons is then electrostatically focused and swept across a phosphor screen at the back of the tube, capturing light transients faster than any other method.
The Cordin Model 164 Streak Camera is designed to provide very high performance at a competitive price.
