A Survey of Shuttering Techniques for the RAE High-Speed Television Recording System.

Abstract

Mechanical rotating disc shutters are currently used with the high speed television camera system developed by RAE but a more compact device, capable of exposure times down to 50 microseconds, would be highly desirable. The suitability of electro-optical shuttering devices is discussed for this application and typical performance figures are given. It is concluded that image intensifiers of the electrostatically focused triode or proximity focused diode types, fibre optically coupled to a Plumbicon camera tube, offer sufficient promise to justify further work.
