Studied of Some Exploding Wire Light Sources

Esther C. Cassidy, Stanley Abramowitz

Continuous and time-resolved measurements of the spectral distribution of light emitted by various exploding wire systems have been obtained by use of a high speed drum camera and a rotating shutter, respectively. Results from experiments with several systems show the effects of environment, pressure, energy, and wire material on the spectrum. Various intermediate species produced by the explosion are determined spectroscopically.
