Application of K008 camera within measuring complex of laser diagnostics of shock and detonation waves

In May 2001 the K008 camera/1,2/ being a part of a laser Doppler velocity meter (LDVM) experimental complex of the Russion Federation Nuclear Center, the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics (RFNC-VNIIEF), was tested under real conditions of gas-dynamic experiments. Some tasks typical to explosion physics were solved during these experiments: the record of velocities of the plates thrown by an explosion; the record of shock and detonation wave fronts; the record of elastic-plastic properties of constructional materials. At the same time the following camera's characterstics were checke: resistance to electromagnetic, acoustic and light interference; conformity of real characteristics to Documentation data; convenience in operation and reliability.
