In order to enlarge the field of view of a multi-imaging x-ray streak (MIXS) camera technique [H. Shiraga et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 66, 722 (1995)], which provides two-dimensionally space-resolved x-ray imaging with a high temporal resolution of ∼10 ps, we have proposed and designed a wide-field MIXS (W-MIXS) by increasing the number of image-sampling arrays. In this method, multiple cathode slits were used on the photocathode of an x-ray streak camera. The field of view of the W-MIXS can be enlarged up to 150–200 μm instead of ∼70 μm for a typical MIXS with a spatial resolution of ∼15 μm. A proof-of-principle experiment with the W-MIXS was carried out at the Gekko-XII laser system. A cross-wire target was irradiated by four beams of the Gekko-XII laser. The data streaked with the W-MIXS system were reconstructed as a series of time-resolved, two-dimensional x-ray images. The W-MIXS system has been established as an improved two-dimensionally space-resolved and sequentially time-resolved technique. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
