The design of time resolved intensified CCD imaging system

Coupled the CCD with an image intensifier, the intensified CCD imaging system has such advantages as higher signal gain, higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and higher dynamic range. Time resolution can be achieved by controlling the shutter time of the image intensifier with an electronic pulse. The structures and set-up of the intensified CCD imaging system, and the performance parameters in field use are detailed. The object plane spatial resolution of 5 lp/mm is achieved when enlargement rate is 1. The dynamic range of this system is 38.7, and the synchronous precision is less than 2 ns, the time resolution is 5 ns. (authors)
