Investigation of the Hugoniot equation of state in laser-driven shock experiments by a line-imaging optically recording velocity interferometer system

As a new technique for the measurements of the Hugoniot equation of state in laser-driven shock experiments, a line-imaging optically recording velocity interferometer system (Line-ORVIS) is developed and applied to investigate the Hugoniot of nitrobenzene. The experimental result agrees with the previous data obtained by another method. Thus, it is suggested that a Line-ORVIS is effective for the measurements of the Hugoniot equation of state in laser-driven shock experiments.
