Interface imprinting by a rippled shock using an intense laser

Journal Article · · Physical Review E
Perturbation imprinting at a flat interface by a rippled shock has been observed in a laser hydrodynamics experiment. A strong shock was driven through a three-layer target, with the first interface rippled, and the second flat. The chosen thickness of the second layer gave instability growth with opposite phases at the two interfaces, consistent with two-dimensional simulations and rippled shock theory.
