ROSS 2000 Streak Camera System
The ROSS 2000 Streak Camera System is engineered for facilities performing diverse experiments with a range of temporal requirements. The ROSS 2000 is customized for maximum temporal resolution and overall performance. This large photocathode system features built-in protections to minimize avoidable damage to both the streak tube and image intensifier.
When configuring a ROSS 2000, users are able to select up to 12 sweep speeds for each interchangeable sweep module, ranging from 500 ps to 1 ms—meeting the demand for versatility required at multi-user facilities. Other commercially available streak cameras offer pre-configured sweep electronics spanning a temporal range that may not be useful for certain applications. By designing sweep modules to the user's needs, performance is greatly enhanced. Additionally, each sweep module is compatible with Sydor's base system. This offers a great return on investment for multi-user facilities.
The 2000 series streak camera comes equipped with built-in features that prevent damage to the system’s components. The system comes paired with Sydor’s ROSSApp software which allows users to control the gain of the system's photocathode. This ensures that the light levels being detected will not over-expose and damage the image intensifier. Sydor's design employs gated image intensifiers with a <5 ms gate time pre-programmed to prevent saturation. The next built-in feature lies within the CCD shutter. By default, the shutter is set to be closed unless the CCD is actively capturing an image. Overall, these settings prevent damage to the image intensifier and/or CCD that can lead to burn-in and require repair or replacement of the entire streak camera system.
Sydor couples Offner input optics as standard to its ROSS 2000 Streak camera to remove chromatic aberrations, resulting in less interference compared to traditional refractive optics. The ROSS 2000 includes a timing periscope with an option to add a second for maximum confidence and traceability in experimental timings.
Each ROSS system comes bundled with the powerful ROSSApp software. ROSSApp employs an interface designed for basic users, with optional tabs and menus for more advanced users. The software includes image analysis control software and scripting capabilities. The software integrates all the streak camera functions, making for easy calibration and analysis.
