X-ray framing camera (XFC) is usually used as the principal diagnostic tool in inertial confinement fusion research. The methods on how to precisely calibrate the temporal resolution are important topics for XFC with several picoseconds gate time. A method to measure the temporal resolution of XFCs is proposed based on a high-power subpicosecond ultraviolet laser facility called LLG-ultimate. In our method, series of duraluminium alloy stepped reflective surfaces are used to separate the incident laser beam into sequentially delayed beams with equal size, spacing, and time interval. The temporal resolution of XFC can be measured if the sequentially delayed beams irradiate a gold photocathode microstrip line while the high-voltage pulse transferring along the same area simultaneously. A Fabry-Perot etalon is placed in the light path, improving the probability of synchronization of the voltage pulse and laser pulse. The accuracy of this measurement method can be very high by reducing the time interval of the sequentially delayed beams. © 2018 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
