Abstract

A new electro-optical technique has been developed in which a streak camera is coupled to a Pockels cell with a fast risetime. This technique can improve the time resolution of the high voltages observed in laser produced plasmas between one and two orders of magnitude in comparison to the best oscilloscope measurements. This method should prove useful in confirming the existence of electrostatic fields and elucidating the structure of the wave instabilities found in laser produced plasmas.
