Abstract

AbstractAn acousto‐optic laser deflector was used as a shutter for high‐speed imaging of laser interference fringes using an ordinary CCD camera. The exposure duration was set by the pulse width of the high‐frequency signal applied to the acousto‐optic deflector. Changes in laser interference fringes due to an impulse discharge in air were obtained at an exposure duration of 4 µs. By applying a sequence of high‐frequency signals with different frequency, the beam was deflected to four different angles at different times, allowing four interference images to be captured on a single video frame. This was used for time‐resolved imaging of the interference fringe pattern. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
