Abstract
Perturbation imprinting at a flat interface by a rippled shock has been obs erved in a laser hydrodynamics experiment. A strong shock was driven throug h a three-layer target, with the first interface rippled, and the second fl at. The chosen thickness of the second layer gave instability growth with o pposite phases at the two interfaces, consistent with two-dimensional simul ations and rippled shock theory.
