Abstract
Experimental results on the determination of the color temperature in shock waves produced with lasers are presented. The method is based on imaging the target rear side in two different spectral windows and on using phased zone plates to produce high-quality shocks. The shock ve locity is also measured, allowing, with the use of the equation of sla te, the real shock temperature to be deduced and compared with the mea sured color temperature.
