Interferometric windows characterization up to 450 K for shock wave experiments: Hugoniot curves and refractive index

Conventional shock wave experiments need interferometric windows in order to determine the equation of state of a large variety of metals. Lithium fluoride (LiF) and sapphire are extensively used for that purpose because their optical transparencies enable the optical diagnostics at interfaces under...
