Measurements of aluminum’s shock temperature on SG-II high-power laser facility

Measurement of shock temperature under high temperature and high pressure is an essential part of equations of state(EOS) research. This paper introduces a temperature diagnosis system for laser-driven shock wave experiment on the basis of SG-Ⅱ high-power laser facility. The system comprised the streaked optical pyrometer (SOP) which is high time-resolved and the spectral resolved SOP (SSOP). The VISAR system was added to measure emissivity. The on-line calibration system of temperature measurement was established simultaneously using a NIST traceable standard lamp. High time-resolved signal images of the high temperature radiation spectrum were obtained through experiments driven by high power laser on aluminum using the diagnosis system. The shock temperature of aluminum was obtained according to gray body radiation theoretical model. The measured temperature was 2.95 eV, which was close to Hugoniot temperature in SESAME library at the same shock wave velocity. The experiment result indicates that the temperature measurement system used in the experiment can diagnose the shock temperature of metallic materials effectively. Key words:
