Fiber Optic Diagnostics for Z-Experiments

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA638838 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Quartz optical fiber provides an inexpensive, compact, radiation resistant, electrical noise immune shock diagnostic for our experiments on the Sandia National Laboratories Z-machine. The fiber end is positioned against a thin 10-30 micron thick gold wall separating the fiber from the Z-machine radiation pulse. The radiation driven shock travels through the wall, striking the fiber and heating it to luminescent condition.
