STREAK TUBE ST Y

ST-Y STREAK TUBE

INTRODUCTION

The Photek Streak (Camera) ST-Y is an all metal-ceramic tube is based on a design and

produced by Ching Lai of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Recently Photek

has subsequently made detail changes to improve distortion and spatial resolution.

The tube is available with a slotted grid electrode enabling a large area with high throughput

in streak cameras, and a improve the spatial resolution and to reduce the overall image

distortion.

An alternative version with a mesh in place of the slot. This latter version makes the tube

eminently suitable for use in a framing camera using a 200 Volt cathode pulser and step

voltage generator for the deflection electrodes

Operating modes and performance are described in our Technical Note 000823 12.

However, distortion is less than 2.5% in framing mode and time resolution to 2 ps is possible
