Abstract

A stroboscopic photorecorder (SP) with a wideband external modulator of the photomultiplier current and manufactured on the basis of a commercial sampling oscilloscope is described. The time resolution of the SP with an C7-16 computing oscilloscope is 0.47 ns; this value corresponds to the rise time of the oscilloscope transient response (0.45 ns). The circuit diagram for connecting the C7-16 oscilloscope to the SP units is presented. The application of a standard sampling oscilloscope substantially reduces the time and laboriousness of SP assembly and ensures high performance characteristics (quantum sensitivity, linearity of gain, and time resolution).
