Abstract

This paper presents a time-integrated-image-constrained X-ray compressed ultrafast photography system for comprehensive measurement of the aluminum X-pinch evolution process. The system incorporates a pinhole and a scintillator to convert the X-ray video to fluorescence video. The fluorescence video is recorded by a compressed ultrafast photography channel and a time-integrated imaging channel respectively. By recording the fluorescence video instead of the self-emission visible light video, the long tailing effect can be significantly inhibited, which is more conducive to the image reconstruction of the compressed ultrafast photography channel. In addition, by combining the time-integrated imaging channel, the reconstruction quality is significantly improved. Based on the “Qin-I” pulsed power facility, we recorded the continuous two-dimensional X-ray evolution process of aluminum X-pinch for the first time. Our results contribute to deep insights into the temporal-spatial distribution of the X-pinch imploding plasma. It can also offer direction for the assessing of X-ray backlight photography applications at the X-pinch facility.
