Advances in Energy & Research create need for ever-better, ever-faster measurement techniques to quantify results and analyze testing data.

Sydor Instruments was founded to address these highly specialized needs with custom solutions. We have created streak cameras and custom diagnostics for:

Laser Fusion Diagnostics
Sydor is an expert in laser fusion diagnostics. Our Streak Cameras, Framing Cameras, VISAR systems, custom CCD cameras and detectors are widely used by major US and European laser facilities.

Synchrotron Diagnostics
Sydor has the capability to build complete diagnostic end-stations to collect and process materials research data from synchrotron experiments. Learn about our recent work.

Neutron Detection
Photomultiplier tubes are routinely used along with scintillating materials to capture visible light created by neutron emission in high energy density events. Gating the PMT’s allows the user to block a bright pre-pulse or after-pulse of light with a very narrow time window.

Plasma Diagnostics
Sydor has a unique understanding of plasma diagnostics and short-lived energetic events. Our expertise in laser plasma and X/Z-pinch plasma recording enables us to design and develop the right instrumentation for your program.

Particle Accelerator Diagnostics
Particle imaging is made possible using a variety of detector configurations. By converting particles to visible light, we are able to capture positrons, muons, neutrinos, and particles of interest.

X-Ray Imaging
X-Ray Streak Cameras, X-Ray Framing Cameras, and X-Ray CCD cameras are available to measure a wide variety of x-ray sources in either a gated or non-gated configuration.
