Abstract:
A three-frame Mach–Zehnder interferometer (TFMZI) was developed for taking three pictures of the imploding plasma produced by one shot of fast pulsed discharge. TFMZI consists of a YAG laser, a beam splitter, and a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. By passing through the beam splitter the laser beam was split into three beams with an interbeam delay of 13 ns and each laser beam will give a snapshot of the implosion state. The measurements with the TFMZI were conducted on a small gas-puff z-pinch device and gave good results. In principle an upgraded four or (more) frame Mach–Zehnder interferometer could be constructed if much improvement was made on the TFMZI.
