Direct visualization of laser-driven focusing shock waves.

چکیده
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-shot acquisitions using a streak camera reveal that at the convergence of the shock wave in water the supersonic speed reaches Mach 6, corresponding to the multiple gigapascal pressure range ∼30 GPa.

LLE Review, Volume 111 154 Introduction In the last 15 years, there has been considerable interest in experiments that use laser-driven shock waves to measure high-energy-density equation-of-state (HED-EOS) data.1–5 During this time, the generation of laser-driven shock waves has been refined, and the accuracy of the techniques employed has been improved significantly. Highly accurate optical s...
متن کاملDirect cholangioscopy with standard ultra-slim endoscopes for electrohydraulic lithotripsy of an incarcerated large bile duct stone
Ninety percent of patients with intraductal biliary stones are successfully treated with sphincterotomy and subsequent stone extraction. However, technical difficulty increases with stone size and giant stones require fragmenation to facilitate endoscopic removal. For stones too large to be engaged in a basket for mechanical lithotripsy laser and electrohydraulic lithotripsy have been proposed ...
متن کاملShock focusing in a planar convergent geometry: experiment and simulation
The behaviour of an initially planar shock wave propagating into a linearly convergent wedge is investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experiment, a 25◦ internal wedge is mounted asymmetrically in a pressure-driven shock tube. Shock waves with incident Mach numbers in the ranges of 1.4–1.6 and 2.4–2.6 are generated in nitrogen and carbon dioxide. During each run, the full pressure ...

Nowadays, due to the high costs and large dimensions of the conventional proton accelerators, other optimal methods for producing the proton beam have been studied. Using of Laser-driven proton accelerators is one of the important and new methods. In laser-driven ion acceleration, a highly ultra-intense laser pulse interacts with solid density targets and will create a plasma media that will ac...
