This 1980 monograph is a definitive work in the field of experimental physics, originating from the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The authors, including the renowned physicist Rem Soloukhin, provide a rigorous and systematic guide to the optical diagnosis of phenomena occurring at micro- and nanosecond timescales. This volume captures the zenith of Novosibirsk’s "Akademgorodok" research into gas dynamics and high-energy processes.
The book meticulously covers the theoretical and practical aspects of high-speed imaging. It details traditional shadow (schlieren) and interferometric methods, while also introducing then-cutting-edge techniques such as holographic interferometry and pulsed laser visualization. These methods are applied to the study of shock waves in gases, electrical discharges in liquids, and the expansion of laser-produced plasmas. The text is specifically tailored for researchers dealing with the complex optics required to capture transient events where standard mechanical shutters are insufficient.
Prized for its detailed diagrams of optical trains and high-speed camera systems, this "Nauka" edition remains a fundamental reference for scientists working in aerospace engineering, explosion physics, and plasma diagnostics. With a limited print run of fewer than 3,000 copies, it is a sought-after item for those building a library of the Great Siberian School of Physics.
