By combining the attributes ofelectro-optic shuttering and pulsedlaser illumination in alarge format camera system, we have developed a multi-frame image converter camera with a laser illuminator that produces sequentialphotographs offast phenomena with very high resolution. The combination ofthe large size image plane (75 mm), short exposure time per frame (minimum 12-15 ns), and monochromatic laser illumination provides clear, sharp, front-lit images of surfaces and shapes with no degradation by luminous air shocks or motion blur. The unique modular design ofthe camera and the laser allow for a variety ofconfigurations and applications. The current camera system produces eight independent pictures or four stereo pairs. A Q-switched ruby laser with multiple pulse capability provides individual illumination for each frame. This system has photographed a variety of fast phenomena including the first stereo sequential photographs of the initial formation and early time history of high velocity shaped-charge jets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
