Abstract

Designing high speed time analyzing image converter tube (ICT) requires the account of the dependence of its time resolution on the design of both its electron-optical system (EOS) and its deflecting system (DS). Presented below is the analytical way of estimating the ICT time response function (TRF) i.e. the response of the ICT to δ - pulse which, for the case of electrostatic and magnetic ICT's should take account of quadratic dependence of the electron travel time upon the longitudinal v and lateral u components of its initial velocity (the account of the later provides a correlation between the TRF of an ICT and the electron's escape point radius-vector r0). Furthermore, the effects of the DS boundary fields and its installation inaccuracy upon the ICT time resolution are analytically studied. The last section of the paper investigates DS operation under great scanning rates, analyzes the causes of image edge cutting on the ICT screen, and suggest ways to cure this trouble.
