摘要: We have developed an averaging picosecond x‐ray streak camera using a dc‐biased photoconductive switch as generator of high‐voltage ramp. The is operated at sweep speed up to 8 ps/mm, shot‐to‐shot jitter less than ±1 ps. has been used measure the time history broadband emission from ultrashort pulse laser‐produced plasma. Accumulation streaked signals significantly improved signal‐to‐noise ratio data obtained.
