Streak Cameras
Streak camera technology was developed for measuring ultra-fast optical phenomena. OptoScope streak cameras provide temporal resolution down to the Picosecond regime. Additionally, OptoScope systems have high sensitivity allowing single photon detection. Streak cameras are the only instruments that can capture the behavior over time of multiple optical signals. Combined with a spectrometer this allows their application in the field of time resolved spectroscopy.

OptoScope S3C-1
The S3C-1 is a streak camera based on a semiconductor sensor. Like tube-based streak cameras, the S3C-1 captures changes in light along a line and records the change over time. To record the intensity values, they are sampled and stored with up to 2 GSamples/sec. The line is 65 µm wide and consists of 200 elements along its 5 mm length. Each element consists of a sensitive photodiode with a downstream amplifier.A new and special camera feature is continuous recording. This makes it possible to take recordings of events for which precise information about the time of their occurrence only becomes available after they have taken place. This "post-triggering" simplifies or allows certain applications.

OptoScope SC-10 systems
SC-10 systems are based on the SC-10 main unit and cover a very large range of applications thanks to their flexibility. With a time resolution of 2 ps, a very high temporal resolution streak system is available. The main unit itself uses a fused silica input window, maintaining sensitivity well into the UV range. Deflection units for triggered and synchroscan operation are available. The configuration with a second deflection unit for extension with an orthogonal time axis is also possible. SC-10 systems are well suited for applications in the field of time-resolved spectroscopy and offer a wide range of options for optical coupling.
