Popis: Initial experiments on the propagation of strong shocks in homogeneous solids are described. Gigabar strength shocks are created by the interaction of an ultra‐intense, short pulsar laser with a foil target. The stability of propagation is determined by illuminating the back surface with a small fraction of the incident laser light and imaging the breakout of the shock with micron resolution.
