Cordin Scientific High Speed Streak Imaging Cameras
The fastest and highest quality scientific imaging systems in the world
A streak image is like a graph of one dimension of space over time. A streak camera captures a thin line of image information continuously at very fast rates. Cordin offers streak cameras using rotating mirror and image converter technologies. Cordin Image Converter Streak Cameras capture light information in the picosecond time domain. Cordin rotating mirror streak cameras capture images with a combination of speed and resolution unavailable anywhere else.

The Cordin Model 131-UHD camera is the ideal analytical tool for continuously measuring one dimension over time for a given event. The rotating mirror architecture provides long record length and recording rate flexibility. Combining rotating mirror and the latest CMOS sensor technology provides users with access to digital streak image information in seconds. This allows the researcher to record data ready for subject adjustment, analysis, or presentation. A unique opto-mechanical design provides a continuous digital streak record, without gaps, blemishes, and with negligible distortion.
Cordin Image Converter Streak Cameras relay a slit image to the photocathode of an image converter tube, where the incident photons are converted to electrons. This linear array of electrons is then electrostatically focused and swept across a phosphor screen at the back of the tube, capturing light transients faster than any other method. The Cordin Model 164 Streak Camera is designed to provide very high performance at a competitive price:
- Picosecond temporal resolution
- Moderate spatial resolution, 4 – 8 bit dynamic range
- Moderate image noise
- Very high sensitivity
- Moderate physical size
- Moderate complexity
- Applications [time resolved spectroscopy, laser studies, optical communications, semiconductor physics]
Model 164: 25 line pair/mm spatial resolution, 20 picoseconds temporal resolution, 18 mm photocathode width, 4 Mpix readout resolution
