Abstract

Shock experiments were performed to characterize the triboluminescent signature of surface coatings of powdered cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate suspended in a silicate binder. This coating shows prompt, nanosecond timescale light emission when driven by explosive detonation. When properly applied to a surface, it may be used to sense the arrival of a shock, or to image the propagation of a shock front.
