<p>The Laser Pulse Sampler (LPS) measures temporal pulse shape without the problems of a streak camera. Unlike the streak camera, the laser pulse directly illuminates a camera (20) in the LPS, i.e., no additional equipment or energy conversion are required. The LPS has several advantages over streak cameras. The dynamic range of the LPS is limited only by the range of its camera (20), which for a cooled camera can be as high as 16 bits, i.e., 65,536. The LPS costs less because there are fewer components, and those components can be mass produced. The LPS is easier to calibrate and maintain because there is only one energy conversion, i.e., photons to electrons, in the camera (20).</p> |
