Optical Fiber-based Time-of Arrival System
Abstract
Involving energetic materials of interest to the military and chemical industry, alike. Generally, the explosive enterprise attempts to characterize material performance using as little material as possible, attaining the most information per test, and relying heavily on models to predict performance. Experimental results are used to generate validated and improved equations of state, but the results are only as good as the metrics of measurement. Requested is an optical fiber-based time-of arrival system to follow detonation progression when line-of-sight measurements are not possible. This system selected will provide excellent resolution, will allow simultaneous measurements, and be significantly more cost effective to operate and maintain than present systems.
