The world’s fastest camera that captures ten trillion frames per second

One, as femtosecond stream camera, and second a camera to acquire static image. Combination of these two images allows Radon transformation to obtain high-quality images without losing minute resolution of the scene. In simple terms, the system could capture any scene at the highest quality without losing a single possibility of a clear image.

The Optical Society of America mentions that the system possesses a femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) streak camera. The same system works as a data acquisition in applications such as tomography. The system uses lasers for producing ultrashot pulses in femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) range. This range is really short for human beings to view. But, the invention of T-CUP could ensure some interesting finds.

With its real-time imaging speed, T-CUP has become the world’s fastest camera. Setting the world record, it could also be used in futuristic microscopes for benefiting biomedical, material science, and some other fields. The camera is capable to analyze interactions taking place between light and matter dynamically at an unparalleled temporal resolution.

Jinyang Liang, inventor of the camera is really happy to achieve this goal. But, he also wants to increase the speed of the camera to up to one quadrillion (10^15) frames per second! He finds possibilities to achieve the next goal by increasing its speed.
