APPARATUS FOR SENSING AND DISPLAYING THE TEMPORAL PROPERTIES OF A PLURALITY OF LIGHT SIGNALS OCCURRING AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for sensing and displaying the temporal properties of a plurality of light signals occurring at dif- ferent locations simultaneously is disclosed. A plurality of optical fibers of equal length are used to transmit the in- dividual light signals from the various locations to the in- put slit of a streak camera where they are imaged on the photo- cathode at the input end as a row of light spots orthogonal to the sweep direction, one from each light signal. The impinging light signals are processed in the streak camera to produce a pattern of individual spaced streak images on the phosphor screen at the output end of the streak camera, with each streak image corresponding to a trace of intensity vs. time of one of the light signals. A television camera or a two dimensional detector or a plurality of linear array detectors converts the pattern of streak images formed on the phosphor screen into an electri- cal image which is fed into a computer for storage and/or pro- cessing. A television monitor or similar device such as a liquid crystal display coupled to the computer is used to dis- play the electrical image or any portion thereof in either digital or analog form. A control panel coupled to the computer enables the user to selectively change the signal scale, the time (sweep) scale of the streak camera, the X and Y axes of the television or similar monitor and the particular streak image or combination of images to be displayed.
