Abstract :
We have studied sensitivity, linearity, dynamic range, space and time resolution of three imaging systems for the visualization of high-power radiation from 0.12 to 0.25 mum: an IR-thermograph, a phosphor screen sensitive to thermal quenching of luminescence, and a glass-plate visible-light interferometer.
