Velocity interferometers measurements have yielded refractive index and Hugoniot equation-of-state data for a 9.1-molar aqueous solution of zinc chloride which was shock-compressed to initial stresses ranging from 2.2 to 24.1 GPa in a series of plate-impact experiments. The Hugoniot data are accurately described by a linear variation of shock velocity with particle velocity. The optical data verify sustained solution transparency over the investigated range of shock stresses, and provide a calibration of the correction which must be applied to interferometer measurements to account for the stress-induced change in refractive index of the material. Refractive index data derived from the measured particle velocity corrections exhibit a departure from predictions based on the Gladstone-Dale relation.
