HIGH-SPEED GATED IMAGE INTENSIFIER UNITS C9548 SERIES OVERVIEW Image intensifiers (I. I.) are devices capable of intensifying an image at high gain and high-speed gating (electronic shutter operation). This allows them to capture "instantaneous images" of ultrafast phenomena that occur in extremely short periods of time. The C9548 series is an I.I. unit which is suitable for PIV application. It has a built-in pulse generator to allow multi-exposure (burst) operation. By using a relay lens, the C9548 series can be easily connected to various cameras or high-speed cameras. The I.I. gain, gate width and delay time can be controlled and set from a PC through the RS-232C interface. (The I.I. gain can also be controlled and set from the remote controller.)

Take the effective area of the camera and reduction rate of the relay lens to be used into account. CInput illuminance (or irradiance) required to produce a luminous emittance from the phosphor screen, which is equal to that obtained when no light is indent on the photocathode. This indicates the lower limit of detectable illuminance (or irradiance) level of an image intensifier.
