Paper Abstract
Improvements in the time resolution of an ultrafast streak-camera for vacuum UV to x-radiation are described. Pin hole optics were used to image the x-rays from a 100 4m laser-produced plasma onto the gold photocathode of the camera. The plasmas were produced by focusing single, amplified (80 mJ) pulses from a mode-locked Nd: glass oscillator on to a copper target. A temporal resolution of <22 psec has been demonstrated in both the oblique and normal incidence modes of operation of the tube. Limits on the ultimate resolution are discussed and a new design for the electron optics of the image tube, which may overcome these limitations, is proposed.
