Abstract
Streaked shadowgraphy based on a simple coaxial flashlamp-pumped dye l aser as the probing light source is applied to a plasma focus pinch in argon fill gas. This resolves a major problem in using the normal str eak photography for capturing the gross dynamics of argon focus pinch, in which its plasma luminosity as a function of time is highly nonuni form.
