Determination of the light arrival time at the ICCD. The ICCD signal is measured with varying gate delay after bunch clock synchronization during the 24-bunch mode, in which X-ray pulses arrive every 153.4 ns. The gate width is fixed at 7 ns, shorter than a normal experimental gate, to increase contrast in the signal as a function of delay. The light arrival time is fitted using the model of equation (2)[link], of two sequential phosphors with single exponential decays and lifetimes of 26.2 ns and 70.4 ns. These lifetime parameters were determined from a fit of equation (1)[link] to similar data taken in the Hybrid mode (inset), where X-ray pulses are separated by 1.6 µs.
