Development of laser-driven shock compression system with a line-imaging ORVIS to determine the Hugoniot equation-of-state

A laser-driven shock compression system using a table-top type pulsed laser was developed in order to investigate the Hugoniot equation-of-state (EOS) of laser-shocked materials. A line-imaging optically recording velocity interferometer system (ORVIS) was implemented for measurements of both shock...

Summary:A laser-driven shock compression system using a table-top type pulsed laser was developed in order to investigate the Hugoniot equation-of-state (EOS) of laser-shocked materials. A line-imaging optically recording velocity interferometer system (ORVIS) was implemented for measurements of both shock wave velocity (Us) and particle velocity (up). The measurement of Hugoniot equation-of-state of nitromethane was performed by using the developed experimental system. The obtained experimental results showed a good agreement with the previous data. It was indicated that the developed experimental system and the analytical method implemented in this study were worked well and useful to investigate the Hugoniot equation-of-state of transparent materials such as nitromethane.
