Laser Shock Standard Configuration Diagram

Diagram titled “Standard Configuration Diagram” showing a scientific experimental setup for VISAR and X‑ray diagnostics. A central sample is positioned at the intersection of multiple beams, including a UV laser beam angled downward and an X‑ray beam directed horizontally. A VISAR beam is shown reflecting off a mirror toward the sample, with a debris shield in front. Angles such as 38°, 45°, and 7° are labeled around the beam paths. A detector (labeled Detecto SSV x5) is positioned on the left, aligned with a diffraction cone originating from the sample. Distances and dimensions, including a ≥100 mm spacing to an XRD detector and a 165 mm active area, are indicated with measurement lines.
