Popis: Pulsed holography is being developed to meet two principal objectives. The first objective is to quantify the three dimensional characteristics of hypervelocity impact events, and the second is to provide a diagnostic with the ability to capture high fidelity information for the validation of sophisticated three-dimensional hydrocodes. The holographic system uses a Q-switched, seeded, frequency-doubled Nd-YAG laser which produces 5 ns, 750 mJ, coherent pulses at 532 nm. Holographic images have been captured of the back-surface debris bubble from 4 km/s perforating impacts and crater ejecta from 2 km/s non-perforating impacts. A prototype holographic reconstruction and image analysis system has been assembled that provides the ability to measure the structure and individual particles produced in a hypervelocity impact event. The estimated image resolution of this system is 10 to 20 {mu}m; however, this level of performance has not yet been demonstrated.
