New X-ray streak camera from Hamamatsu for sub-picosecond time-resolved measurement C4575-03 Enables ultrafast measurements of X-rays in the range of 10 eV - 10 keV with 0.5 ps or less temporal resolution and high spatial resolution The C4575-03 X-ray streak camera employs a new X-ray streak tube which is capable of achieving extremely high temporal resolution and high spatial resolution. The camera can detect Xrays from 10 eV to 10 keV with 0.5 picosecond temporal resolution. It utilizes an image intensifier to achieve high gain (sensitivity) along with high spatial resolution. A high-performance, 1-megapixel cooled CCD camera is included to preserve the streak image in digital format. Features Temporal resolution: 0.5 ps or less FWHM (Calculated) Large photocathode: 8.6 mm Simultaneous measurements of time, position and light intensity Applications XFEL X-ray laser X-ray plasma light emission Setup examples Setup with high repetition laser (100 kHz to 150 MHz) Short pulse laser beam The figure at the right shows an example setup with a high repetition frequency (100 kHz to 150 MHz) laser. The incident light is split by a beam splitter. One beam is used to trigger the streak camera by means of the photodiode and delay circuit, while the other beam is directed to the sample target and streak camera. Since the max streak sweep repetition is 100 Hz, the streak camera circuit will adjust accordingly, including an internal gate control to suppress extraneous light between sweeps. Beam splitter Target Ti:sapphire laser, etc. Repetition frequency 100 kHz to 150 MHz X-ray Optical trigger PIN diode head C1083-01 Operating conditions • Gate mode: GATE • Gate trigger: Streak trigger • Fastest sweep time range: 35 ps Delay unit C1097-05 Streak trigger signal X-ray streak camera C4575-03 Setup with low repetition laser (single shot to 100 kHz) for highest time resolution The figure at the right shows an example setup using a laser with single pulse up to 100 kHz repetition rate. In order to minimize shot-to-shot timing jitter, it is necessary to create a streak trigger signal from the same laser pulse incident on the sample target. For this reason, an optical delay line is introduced. An additional pretrigger pulse generator is also required to achieve the highest temporal resolution. Optical delay Short pulse laser beam Beam splitter Target Low repetition laser with external trigger input Repetition frequency Single shot to 100 kHz X-ray Optical trigger PIN diode head C1083-01 Operating conditions • Gate mode: GATE • Gate trigger: External trigger • Fastest sweep time range: 35 ps Delay unit C1097-05 Laser external trigger signal Pulse generator t = (1.5 μs to 10 μs) t=0 Streak trigger signal Pretrigger signal X-ray streak camera C4575-03 Setup with low repetition laser (single shot to 100 kHz) for 100 ps and slower sweep times The figure at the right shows an example setup using a laser with single pulse up to 100 kHz repetition rate. In this case, although the maximum speed range is 100 ps, the pretrigger signal is not necessary. Also in this case, an optical delay line is used in order to minimize shot-to-shot timing jitter.

In this case a trigger countdown circuit is required to reduce the trigger frequency to below 150 MHz.
