Definitions
- the invention refers to a super-fast slit scan camera (strea camera) for viewing the intensity profile of a laser pulse.
- strea camera super-fast slit scan camera
- a slit-scanning camera which comprises in a vacuum enclosure a photocathode, an extraction grid, focusing electrodes, deflection plates and a display screen.
- the laser pulse to be analyzed is applied through a transparent substrate of the photocathode, which, in response, emits electrons. These are then subjected to the electric field applied between the cathode and the extraction grid. They are accelerated, pass through a hole in a focusing anode and are finally deflected by deflection plates, which receive a sawtooth tension. On the screen, one can then visualize the temporal distribution of the photons of the laser pulse which strike the photocathode.
- the invention aims to provide a camera for analyzing pulses of duration less than 10 " sec, that is to say having a temporal response of one picosecond and even less.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by replacing the photocathode of the semiconductor type with at least one metallic tip. that and by sending the laser pulse in an area located opposite this point.
- Figure 1 shows schematically and in axial section a camera according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents a variant of the electron emitter according to FIG. 1.
- an enclosure 1 which is capable of being evacuated by about 10 -8 Torr and which comprises, centered on an axis 2, a metal needle 3, an extraction grid 4, a focusing anode 5 having a central hole, deflection plates 6 and finally a display screen 7, made of phosphor, for example.
- the various organs are connected to sources of electrical voltage suitable for performing their respective conventional functions.
- the needle 3 is connected to a generator 8 of an electrical pulse which is synchronized with the optical pulse to be analyzed. The latter comes from a laser 9 placed outside the enclosure 1 and directing its beam 13 through a window 10 towards an area located opposite the needle 3.
- the amplitude of the electric pulse supplied by the generator 8 is chosen slightly below a threshold at which spontaneous emission of electrons from the needle occurs.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to reduce the power of the laser beam to be analyzed and therefore to improve the temporal resolution of the analysis.
- FIG. 2 represents a variant with respect to needle 3 of FIG. 1.
- a substrate 11 made of a good conductive metal which is connected as before to the generator 8 through the wall of the enclosure 1.
- This substrate comprises an emission surface 12 having a certain microscopic roughness as the substrate, so that there is a plurality of spikes capable of emitting electrons. It has been observed that the emission threshold is much lower when the surface is rough, because the local electric field at the top of an acute point is a factor B greater than the microscopic field than around this point. , the factor B can reach 10.4 '
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
- the laser beam it is not compulsory for the laser beam to intersect the axis 2 to 90 e .
