The Stability

The experimental progress of laser equation of state (EOS) studies at Shanghai Institute of Laser Plasma (SILP) is discussed in this paper. With a unique focal system, the uniformity of the laser illumination on the target surface is improved and a laser-driven shock wave with good spatial planarity is obtained. With an inclined aluminum target plane, the stability of shock waves are studied, and the corresponding thickness range of the target of laser-driven shock waves propagating steadily are given. The shock adiabats of Cu, Fe, SiO2 are experimentally measured. The pressure in the material is heightened remarkably with the flyer increasing pressure, and the effect of the increasing pressure is observed. Also, the high-pressure shock wave is produced and recorded in the experimentation of indirect laser-driven shock waves with the hohlraum target.

Abstract For applying shock waves to precise medical procedures like neurosurgery, a reliable generation of micro shock waves is required. Such sensitive applications make limits on usage of conventional underwater shock wave sources like Extracoporeal Shock Waves ESW [1] or micro explosives [2]. In the present study a Q-switched Ho:YAG laser and an optical fiber are used. Advantages of this method over previous shock wave sources are two order of magnitude reduction in focusing area if compared with ESW and elimination of product gases of micro explosives. Nakahara and Nagayama [3] studied underwater shock waves emanated from surface of an optical fiber by pulse Nd:YAG laser input using shadowgraph technique. Their qualitative study limited to visualization of shock waves at its early stage. The present research aims to clarify quantitatively process of the shock wave generation by direct laser beam irradiation through optical fibers, growth and behavior of generated cavities, and structure of heat induced flow in front of the optical fiber.

Density Relation

The special theory of relativity is used to analyze the motion of plane shock waves in a medium whose equation of state is u = 3 p , u being the mass density and p the pressure. The appropriate conservation equations together with this pressure-density relation provide a determinate set of equations for obtaining the downstream, in terms of the upstream, variables. The properties of normal and oblique shock waves in this gas are studied in the Lorentz frames in which the shocks are at rest.
