OVERVIEW
The SC-10 main unit is the central part of a streak camera system. The main unit consist of a streak tube with supply and control electronics including an Ethernet interface to control the system.
The SC-10 main unit is completed with a shutter SH25-10 and a fiber optically coupled image intensifier II125. Using a separate image intensifier within the electro-optical signal chain provides photon counting sensitivity combined with high detection efficiency and low amplification noise. The modular design allows removing shutter or image intensifier for particular requirements.
PHOTOCATHODE
The streak tube is available with different photocathodes having different spectral responses and noise characteristics. Typical data are listed below.
