Abstract

A nanosecond single frame camera by gating the 25mm proximity focused microchannel plate (MCP) intensifier has been developed at our institute. On the basis of previous researches on proximity focused microchannel plate intersifier tube (MCPT) for gating application, it has been payed more attention in this programme to developing a commonly used camera with gating time < 10 ns. The structure of the camera, the MCPT for fast gating application, the gating pulser and the way to connect the pulser to the MCPT are presented. The characteristics of the camera are discussed. When the tube is gated by a 2 ns FWHM driving electrical pulse, measured resolution is 4.7 1p/mm.
