Abstract
We report on the construction and testing of a 100‐ps framing camera based on a gated microchannel plate. The gating is obtained by applying a fast voltage pulse directly across the microchannel plate detector. An infinite ground‐plane microstrip transmission‐line configuration is used. We have measured the transit time for electrons through the microchannel plate to be 150±35 ps and the rise and fall times of the detector to be less than 100 ps. The time resolution computed using the experimentally measured edge response times is less than 100 ps.Keywords
