Fusion News: Framing Camera Used to Observe Behaviors of Plasma for Fusion Energy Power Generator
Vision Systems Design reports Sorlox Corporation’s use of specialized cameras to observe plasma for fusion energy power generation in its article.
In order to observe the behavior of plasma, Sorlox used SIM-D8 high-speed framing cameras from Specialised Imaging (SIM). These cameras feature CCDimage sensors and are capable of capturing up to 32 images at 1 billion fps. They feature full remote control using Ethernet, comprehensive triggering options, timing control, and a wide range of output signals. In addition, the cameras are coupled with a software package that includes full measurement and image enhancement functions that simplify image capturing.
Wai Chan, Managing Director of Specialised Imaging, stated:
“As SIM cameras incorporate a supplementary optical port that can deliver 50% of the primary image to a secondary instrument – Sorlox has the opportunity in the future to integrate a streak camera, enabling them to obtain simultaneous streak and framing data, for more powerful analyses of very fast pulsed plasma events.”
