Abstract

A high-irradiance short pulsed laser was used to generate hemispherical shock waves in planar targets. A linear relationship was obtained between the laser energy for threshold spall conditions (EL) and the cubic target thickness (d): EL = 45.3d3 + 4.9, where EL is in J and d is in mm. It is found that the laser-induced ablation pressure decays with the distance to a power slightly greater than 2.
