Slides used by Matthew Briggs for a talk given at the Colorado School of Mines. Points in this talk are summarized as follows: 1) Because velocity is one of the fundamental quantities in the physical description of shock physics, and because it can now be measured with nanosecond time resolution, <1% accuracy, for 100s of channels in a small confined space, optical velocimetry is growing dramatically in applications to shock physics. 2) Velocimetry is one of many critical pieces in the weapons labs mission to certify our nations stockpile. 3) The breadth of this mission means a very wide array of opportunities at LANL and other weapons labs.
