Ballistic range optical equipment
Abstract
The optical equipment and electronic system are described which is required and developed for high-speed photography at an experimental short-duration ballistic range. Emphasis is given to the requirements of the light-source synchronization required for employing the shadowgraph technique, and the use of the Schlieren device, grating interferometer, and scale-time transformation are considered. The photographic results of different optical devices are presented, and a synchronization technique is described in a functional block scheme.
