Abstract
A Bragg x-ray spectrograph was developed for pulsed diagnostics. It covers the wavelength region 2–100 Å and accommodates two convex crystals and a time-resolving x-ray intensifier. The x-ray detector is a gated intensified camera incorporating a custom-designed microchannel plate (MCP) built into a microwave circuit for fast pulsing of four or seven separate images. Various photocathodes (Au, Ni, CsI, and MgF2) have been deposited directly onto the microchannel plate to form the strip lines. The MCP is mounted above a high-quality phosphor screen coated on top of a fiber-optic faceplate. Time resolution is obtained by sequentially gating the independent strip electrodes on the MCP for subnanosecond electrical gating. A one-dimensional time-resolved spectral image can be obtained.
