Popis: We have developed an averaging picosecond x‐ray streak camera using a dc‐biased photoconductive switch as a generator of a high‐voltage ramp. The streak camera is operated at a sweep speed of up to 8 ps/mm, shot‐to‐shot jitter is less than ±1 ps. The streak camera has been used to measure the time history of broadband x‐ray emission from an ultrashort pulse laser‐produced plasma. Accumulation of the streaked x‐ray signals significantly improved the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the data obtained.
