✦ Synopsis

We present a method of synchronizing a shutter for a video camera that allows an instantaneous slow!motion visualization of fast repetitive processes with a time scaling factor of up to 0\999\999 or more[ The method uses standard\ unmodi_ed CCIR or EIA video equipment\ including video cassette recorders for low!cost recording[ A number of examples showing spatio!temporal dynamics in nonlinear optical systems is shown\ including magneto!optical beam!splitting\ drifting hexagons and phase synchronization of coupled solid!state lasers[ Þ 0888 Elsevier Science Ltd[ All rights reserved[
