Direct Visualization of Laser-Driven Focusing Shock Waves

Direct Visualization of Laser-Driven Focusing Shock Waves

Direct real-time visualization and measurement of laser-driven shock generation, propagation, and 2D focusing in a sample are demonstrated. A substantial increase of the pressure at the convergence of the cylindrical acoustic shock front is observed experimentally and simulated numerically. Single-s...
