Electrooptic streak camera: theoretical analysis.

R A Elliott, J B Shaw

|March 9, 2010

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Electrooptic beam deflectors offer potential as streak cameras, but optical signal transit time limits performance. Achieving optimal time resolution requires a trade-off with the number of resolvable spots.

Optical signal transit time imposes a fundamental limit on time resolution.

A trade-off exists between time resolution and the number of resolvable spots or range.

Low impedance characteristics further restrict performance.

Conclusions:

Electrooptic beam deflectors face inherent performance limitations for streak camera applications.
Optimized designs are crucial to balance time resolution and spatial/range capabilities.
Practical constraints necessitate careful consideration of high-voltage switching technology.
