Abstract
Impulse coupling coefficients in air from 1.06 mum, 10 ns, Nd:YAG puls ed-laser radiation to aluminum and copper targets are measured using t he ballistic pendulum method in the laser power-density range from 2.0 x 10(8) W/cm2 to 4.0 x 10(9) W/cm2. A modified laser-supported detona tion (LSD) wave and cylindrical blast wave theory incorporating the va porization model is proposed to calculate the impulse coupling coeffic ients. It is found that the theoretical results obtained with the modi fied model agree well with the experimental data.
