The world’s fastest camera has been designed in a bid to capture a whopping 70 trillion frames in a second.
The special camera has been designed by the researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The camera could record slow motion with a little under 1000 frames per second while the commercial cameras can only top a few thousand frames per second.
CUSP combines a laser that emits extremely short pulses of laser light that last only one quadrillionth of a second (one femtosecond) with optics and a specialized type of camera. The optics break up individual femtosecond pulses of laser light into a train of even shorter pulses, with each of those pulses capable of producing an image in the camera.
In this regard, the researchers explained that the camera works by splitting laser pulses into even shorter flashes.
“Every pulse is supposed to strike a specific specialized camera sensor. This process happens 70 trillion times a second which means, each laser pulse lasts for just one femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second),” the researchers added.
This latest technology is a huge invention in the world of optics as 70 trillion frames are fast enough to capture light waves in motion.
