Description

A prototype of a new whole-image, total-activity mechano-optical camera has been developed for the study of ultra-fast luminous phenomena. The camera can record 144 6 x 6.2mm images at the maximum rate of ten million images per second, with a dynamic resolution reaching 50 pairs of lines per millimetre. This was achieved by the use of an optical speed doubler included in an original design, together with a mirror rotating at 9,000 turns per second which benefits from recent technological progress in this field

Abstract (French)

Le prototype d'une nouvelle camera mecano-optique, a images integrales et a activite totale, a ete realise en vue d'etudier des phenomenes lumineux ultra-rapides. La camera est capable d'enregistrer 144 images, de format 6x6,2mm a la cadence maximale de dix millions d'images par seconde et avec une resolution dynamique pouvant atteindre 50 paires de lignes par millimetre. L'emploi d'un doubleur optique de vitesse inclus dans un schema original, et d'un miroir tournant a 9000 tours par seconde, beneficiant de progres technologiques recents dans ce domaine, ont rendu possibles ces performances
