Abstract

A high‐gain image intensifier tube has been gated with a laser‐triggered spark gap to produce single‐shot nanosecond exposure, with spatial resolution of 10 1p/mm. The exposure has been directly calibrated employing a mode‐locked laser pulse train and spatial resolution of 8 1p/mm has been obtained with picosecond illumination from a single mode‐locked pulse.
