World’s Fastest Camera Which Can Capture Video at 1563 Trillion Frames Per Second A team of Canadian engineers has developed a camera that captures 1563 trillion frames per second. An engineer from the INRS Energy Matériaux Telecommunications Research Center (INRS Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications Research Center) has given information on this matter while publishing a journal in Nature Communications.
This camera developed by a team of engineers is the fastest camera in the world.
Usually, the phone’s slow-motion camera works at a few hundred frames per second. Professional cinematic cameras operate at a few thousand frames per second.
The more frames per second, the better the video looks. In this way, while the reference of videos shot at thousands of frames per second is going on, the engineer has prepared a camera that can shoot trillions of frames in one second.
It is claimed that this camera can capture events in the range of femtoseconds (10^-15). For reference, a femtosecond is as many seconds within a second as there are seconds in 32 million years.
According to New Atlas, researchers developed a camera in 2014 that captures 100 billion frames per second. It is also known as Compressed Ultrafast Photography (CUP).
After that, the researchers continued their work to develop a camera that captures more frames than that camera. Which is called T-CUP (T-CUP) i.e. billions of frame capture technology. The T-cup camera that was prepared in the first stage could shoot 100 trillion frames per second.
By 2020, researchers have developed a camera that captures 700 trillion frames per second. This version is called Compressed Ultrafast Spectral Photography (CUSP).
The researchers who are trying to develop a camera that captures twice as many frames as the capacity of CUSP have developed a camera that captures 1563 trillion frames per second. This new camera system is named Swept Coded Aperture Real-Time Femtophotography (SCARF-SCARF).
It can capture fast-moving objects or fast-moving events. Similarly, a living cell or any substance can capture moving shock waves.
The scarf allows a special type of laser light to enter the event or object to be photographed. For example, suppose a bullet fired from a gun is flying in the air. To take a picture of it, the camera first shines a laser light on the bullet.
The light emitted from the laser hits the object and comes back to the camera. After reaching the center of the camera, the light is converted into data. The data is processed by computer and prepared as the final image. In this way, it is said that this camera technology will be used to take pictures of events or objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Researchers say that this camera will be useful in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering.
