Notes:
Coupled with the push-pull type velocity interferometer system for any reflector, an electronic streak camera recording system has been established, which provides subnanosecond time resolution in the detection of interferential fringes. Complete acceleration histories of Al, Au, and Pt foil plates, driven by pulsed laser beam at 30–400 GW/cm2, have been measured by using this system. For the 10-μm-thick Al foil irradiated at 280 GW/cm2, an ablative acceleration up to terminal velocity about 9 km/s within 25 ns has been determined with a velocity uncertainty of ∼1%. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
