Japan makes World’s Fastest/Quickest Camera

World's Quickest Camera

The world’ fastest/quickest camera has been stated to be made in Japan now with the help of researching teams of University of Tokyo and Keio University, the world’s fastest/quickest camera takes 4.4 trillion frames per second (FPS) which is very impressive, the two Universities used the new STAMP (Sequentially Timed All-optical Mapping Photography) system to develop the world’s quickest/fastest camera according to their claim on it being the world’s quickest/fastest camera.
World's Fastest/Quickest Camera
The World’s fastest/quickest camera takes pictures of resolutions of 450 x 450 pixels, it is said to be so fast that it can be used to capture the conduction of even heat that travels at almost the speed of one/sixth of the velocity of light.
How the world’s quickest/fastest camera takes pictures so quick?
This camera uses a way known to be as femto-photography, using this way the camera takes pictures in a single shot without needing to re-measure again like the way things happen in the other high speed camera’s. So this is the way through which it takes about 4.4 trillion frames per second, the researchers also state that this is made possible by making use of ultra-short laser pulse which splits into separate pulses of which each is in different spectral bands, this helps in taking successive shots of the full scenario.
Talking about this in simple words the item which is being photographed by the world’s fastest camera is, many beams are successively illuminated on it which is sent by the femto-second laser. There is also a system of mirrors in the camera which helps to take shots of different parts of the object capturing a view of each part/side of the item, this part is along with the flashes from laser part which is used to capture small parts of the item is then known as the composite whole part.
The researchers have also claimed to use this camera for taking images of the periodic oscillation of atoms in a crystal which is known as lattice vibrational waves and along with it also the plasma dynamics as well

This research work has also even been published now in the journal known as Nature Photonics.
