We describe a simple time-resolving Thomson spectrometer system which can provide the temporal information of ions produced by a pulsed source, in addition to the time-integrated information. The electric field in a conventional spectrometer is modulated by a time-varying field. It is shown that from the resulting spectrogram, the time-resolved quantities associated with the ions can be deduced. Experimental results with plasma focus produced ions are given as an example.
