Abstract
We describe the use of gated microchannel‐plate detectors as high‐speed framing cameras in laser‐driven inertial‐confinement‐fusion experiments. Using an array of pinholes to image the target, detectors capable of generating up to 16 individual frames with ∼90 ps resolution on a single laser shot are now in routine use. The detectors have been used to study the development of intentionally applied perturbations in laser‐driven targets. In off‐line tests new detectors have demonstrated time resolutions better than 40 ps.Keywords
