Title: Optical Response of Shocked Cerium-Doped Lutetium Oxyorthosilicate

Journal Article · · Review of Scientific Instruments
OSTI ID:810076

Shock experiments were performed in order to characterize the triboluminescent signature of cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO:Ce). This material shows prompt, nano-second timescale light emission when driven by explosive detonation. When properly applied to a surface, it may be used as a shock arrival sensor, and also for imaging the propagation of a shock front. Triboluminescent rise times, spectral content, and spatial resolution measurements are presented.
