Rotating Mirror Digital Streak Camera for Investigation of Fast Processes

Abstract

A TKPF269 rotating mirror digital streak camera with a photosensitive element based on a CMOS array was developed for the purpose of replacing film in high-speed streak cameras (SFR-2M, USF-2, etc.). A brief description of the TKPF269 streak camera design is given. The space-time picture of the emergence of light from the ends of optical fibers upon firing of an explosive in a model assembly was simultaneously recorded by a TKPF269 streak camera and an USF-2 streak camera to compare the metrological characteristics of these devices. The results of experimental data processing are presented.
