Streak Technique In Detonics

Streak technique signifies stretching out in terms of time a process under observation. Originally, the event under observation was imaged via the main lens to the slit of the streak camera. Only the image of a narrow strip of the event which passes through this slit is shown via the camera lens and the rotating mirror on the film plane. On rotation of the mirror, a chronological event is retained, spatially stretched, on the film according to the speed of the camera.
