title: Simultaneous Imaging and Spectroscopy of Detonation Interaction in Reactive and Energetic Materials.
abstract: A dual framing camera system was coupled with custom-designed ultrafast imaging spectrometer optics to yield simultaneous imaging and imaging spectroscopy of extremely short detonation interaction events in reactive materials. For short exposures of 100 ns or less, spectral resolutions of 2.4 Å are achievable, allowing for time-resolved identification of key intermediate species evolving from prompt reaction. Under some circumstances, emission can be fit to a local emission temperature, assuming the optically thin limit. Applications to reactive metal systems involving aluminum, magnesium, titanium, boron, and silicon are demonstrated.
