A line-imaging optically recording velocity interferometer system (ORVIS) has been implemented on the Veloce pulsed power generator to enable measurement of spatially resolved velocity histories of materials under dynamic compression. Interferometric windows are regularly used to maintain the high-pressure state of shock and ramp (quasi-isentropic) loaded materials. Although imaging through a shock or fast ramp (<=10 ns) loaded window material has been reasonably successful, for slower ramp loading (approx440 ns) experiments, the elastic-plastic yielding of the window has an adverse effect on return light to the line-imaging ORVIS. The results of quasi-isentropic loading experiments with various interferometric windows such as LiF, PMMA, NaCl, quartz and sapphire are presented.
