  • Description: A large number of rotating mirror cameras have been manufactured in the last several decades to cover a range of recording demands often near the limits of the rotating mirror's burst speed. The demand for high recording rates often has been met by optoelectric devices. This monograph is intended for readers who are familiar with high-speed recording devices

    Part I. Basic streak camera design. Purpose and use of field lenses -- Geometry and parameters identification for simple streak cameras -- A methodology for constant writing rate -- Retrofitting mirrors in streak cameras -- Positioning tolerances for streak camera parameters -- Analysis of streak camera measurement -- Absolute and relative error evaluation -- Implications of the total incremental velocity error -- Demonstration of an asymmetrical recording -- A streak camera design operationally invariant to mirror size and location

    Part II. Basic framing camera design. Retrofitting rotating mirrors in framing cameras -- Geometries for pupil formation -- Image motion behavior -- Comments -- References -- Selected bibliography
