Nanosecond gating of an optical multichannel analyzer

摘要

An optical gating pulse of 30 ns width combined with an electronic gating pulse of 50 ns width has been found to give a near perfect performance of a gated silicon intensified vidicon detector. The magnification as well as the focusing properties are found to be close to the real‐time behavior and the small changes that do occur in the gated mode can be corrected for in the data analysis.
