Infrared absorption spectroscopy of dynamically compressed water
Streaked visible spectroscopy is well established in dynamic compression research. Infrared measurements remain problematic, however, due to the diminishing sensitivity of streak camera photocathodes beyond 800 nm. Time-stretch techniques offer an alternative method for probing infrared features during single-event experiments. This paper discusses the development of a time-stretch spectroscopy diagnostic using dispersed supercontinuum laser pulses. The technique is applied to near-infrared measurements of liquid water during multiple shock compression.
