The shutter, with simple translational closed-open-closed action, is event triggered. It is currently used for spectral line broadening studies that presently require a range of shutter open times from 40 to 1800 μsec. The shutter's ease of use, a nonrepeatability of generally less than one percent, and the high maximum velocity in excess of 5000 cm/sec are its salient features.", pages = "274-278", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sas/sas/1968/00000022/00000004/art00004", doi = "doi:10.1366/000370268774383192" }
