Ultrafast optical-mechanical camera

The ultrafast photo camera continues the development ofoptical-mechanical cameras with revolving mirror and reflecting optical systems that can operate in a wide range of spectrum from ultra-violet up to infra-red [1, 2]. The 3CctK-3 camera, unlike the previous ones, is not of a delaying type; it operates in synchronism with a phenomenon under investigation. The 3CPK-3 camera is a twochannel model. Its design ensures the recording of a process under investigation by each of the two channels independently. The channels are spaced apart at a distance of 350 mm; it makes reason in studying gas dynamic and hydrodynamic processes, for instance, in aviation and automobile engineering. The camera can be used both for investigation of self-luminous processes and for utilizing pulsed sources of illumination.
