Abstract: The high-speed camera facilities at the University of California Ernest O. Lawrence Radiation Laboratory include five firing sites using framing cameras with framing rates up to 3.3 million/sec, Kerr cell cameras of 0.005 μsec exposure time, and smear cameras with writing rates up to 15mm/μsec. These cameras are coordinated with other techniques for simultaneous recording. Techniques have been developed for using two discontinuously writing cameras simultaneously. High explosive light sources are used; and electronic light sources have been developed that allow photography in color at 1.2 million frames/sec. Termination of the record is done with a simple mirror cutoff which takes only 3 μsec to go from open to closed. The camera arrangements and auxiliary equipment have been designed for maximum flexibility and fail-safe operation. The safety of personnel is very carefully considered. Annoyance of nearby residents has been minimized. This work was supported by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory.
