We have been setting up experiments on propagation of shock waves generated by the pulsed laser ablation. One side of a thin metal foil is subjected to laser ablation as a shock wave is generated from a localized spot of high intensity energy source. The resulting reactive shock wave, which penetrates through the foil is reflected by an acoustic impedance which causes the metal foil to high-strain rate deform. This short time physics is captured on an ICCD camera. The focus of our research is generating reactive shock wave and high strain rate deforming of thin metal foil for accelerating micro-particles to a very high speed on the orders of several thousand meter per second. Somce innovative applications of this device will be discussed.
