The streak camera is one of the fastest photodetection systems, while its capability of multiplexing is particularly attractive to many applications requiring parallel data acquisition. The degree of multiplexing in a streak camera is limited by the crosstalk between input channels. We developed a technique that introducing a fixed time delay between adjacent fiber channels in a customized two-dimensional to one-dimensional fiber array to significantly reduce crosstalk both at the sample plane and at the input of a streak camera. A prototype system has been developed that supports 100 input channels, and its performance in fluorescence microscopy is demonstrated.
条纹相机是最快的光电探测系统之一，其多路复用能力对于许多需要并行数据采集的应用特别有吸引力。条纹相机的多路复用程度受输入通道之间串扰的限制。我们开发了一种技术，即在定制的二维到一维光纤阵列中的相邻光纤通道之间引入固定的时间延迟，以显著减少样品平面和条纹相机输入端的串扰。已经开发出一种支持 100 个输入通道的原型系统，并展示了其在荧光显微镜中的性能。
