Electro-optical time marker for high-speed cameras

Electro-optical device converts high-frequency electrical pulses into permanent optical records on film. Accurate, well defined images are formed of electronic pulses having repetition rates greater than 10,000 pulses/sec and pulse widths of 20 microseconds or less. Small electronic switch drives a silicon carbide electroluminescent diode.
