Abstract
A simultaneous measurement of color temperature and shock velocity in laser-driven shocks is presented. The color temperature was measured from the target rear side emissivity, and the shock velocity by using stepped targets. A very good planarity of the shock was ensured by the phase zone plate smoothing technique. A simple model of the shock luminosity has been developed in order to estimate the shock temperature from the experimental rear side emissivity. Results have been compared to temperatures obtained from the shock velocity for a material of a known equation of state.
