Survey of Laser-Produced Pressure and Impulse Data
Abstract
The objective of the present work is the collection of all laser generation pressure and impulse data of good quality, and the display of those data in a single format. It should now be possible not only to discover what data regimes have been investigated and which neglected, but to compare experimental results for consistency and the detection of overall patterns. The data are organized first by pressure and impulse, then by the ambient conditions, i.e., in air, in reduced-pressure air, and in vacuum. Within each category the reports are organized by wavelength, beginning with the middle infrared and proceeding to the ultraviolet. Within each wavelength category the data are presented in chronological order of publication. The graphic display of each set is selected to emphasize the most important single variable.
