Abstract An ultrahigh-speed multiple-frame recording system for two- and three-dimensional dynamic photomechanics has been developed and is described here. The output from a ruby laser is modulated with a Pockels cell to produce a train of short, intense, monochromatic and polarized light pulses. Pulse widths of 50 nsec and repetition rates of up to 170,000 pulses/sec are obtained. These light pulses are synchronized with a “smear camera” and the event to produce a multiple-frame record of the phenomenon. The simplified camera requirements necessary for this purpose are indicated. The system is demonstrated by recording two-dimensional dynamic and scattered-light isochromatic fringe patterns. The capability of multiple recording of scattered-light fringe patterns, achieved here for the first time, has a tremendous potential for three-dimensional dynamic stress analysis. The developed system is also well suited for dynamic moiré, interferometry and holography.
