Abstract

Impulse coupling coefficients in air from 1.06 μm, 10 ns, Nd: YAG pulsed-laser radiation to aluminum and copper targets are measured using the ballistic pendulum method in the laser power-density range from 2.0×108 W/cm2 to 4.0×109 W/cm2. A modified laser-supported detonation (LSD) wave and cylindrical blast wave theory incorporating the vaporization model is proposed to calculate the impulse coupling coefficients. It is found that the theoretical results obtained with the modified model agree well with the experimental data.
