Integration of a high-speed repetitively pulsed laser with a high-speed CCD camera

An integrated, high-speed photographic system combining a high-repetition rate, pulsed ruby laser and a high-framing rate CCD camera has been demonstrated. Individually, the laser and camera have been discussed previously and each was developed under the Small Business Innovative Research sponsorship through the Air Force Research Lab. This paper presents for the first time digital images captured at 333 kHz using the two elements integrated as a high-speed photographic system.
