Max:

Once the Xenon tube voltage reaches ignition potential, and discharge begins, is it possible to drop the voltage and/or current flow, yet maintain the discharge at a lower level in an effort to stretch a single pulse to ~ 1/200 second (0.005 sec)?

My curiosity continues. If the FP mode is a series of pulses, that implies a rise time for each individual pulse, and the possibility of non-uniform illumination as the moving shutter slit traverses the image plane. Yes, a frequency => 96kHz may be adequate to mask that.

Your thoughts?
