Our work on ultrafast line-scan TOF camera is published at Light: Science & Applications. High-speed and high-resolution imaging of surface profiles is critical for the investigation of various structures and mechanical dynamics of micro- and nano-scale devices. However, direct time-domain imaging of displacements and mechanical motions has been a missing element in studying full-field structural and dynamic behaviors. In this work, by exploiting the electro-optic sampling with a frequency comb, we demonstrate a line-scan TOF camera that can simultaneously measure the TOF changes of more than 1000 spatial coordinates with hundreds megapixels/s pixel-rate and sub-nanometre axial resolution over several millimeters field-of-view. This unique combination of performances enables fast and precise imaging of both complex structures and dynamics in three-dimensional devices and mechanical resonators.
