Notes:
A new shock sensor for liquids is described in this article which is suitable for precise shock Hugoniot compression curve measurement of water in the relatively low pressure region of ≤1 GPa. The present method is based on the fact that the refractive index of water has a very large pressure dependence. A laser beam incident on the liquid–glass boundary from the proper angle of incidence is totally reflected at the interface. The condition of total internal reflection is violated if the refractive index changes instantaneously by shock compression. The shock target assembly was designed for a gas gun experiment based on the above concept. Two examples of the shock Hugoniot measurement data of water were given. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
