Abstract

We have observed, for the first time, enhanced optical scattering off a picosecond laser pulse in water, under shock conditions. This enhancement is associated with the equilibration process characterizing the shock front. The observed signal from the shocked water samples qualitatively agrees with the calculated value based on the equilibration distance of the shock front.
