Abstract: A Velocity Interferometer for Any Reflector (VISAR) [1, 2] and a Streaked Optical Pyrometer (SOP) [3] were implemented on the “Ligne integration Laser” (LIL) facility. Spatial resolution as good as 10 μm in the target plane and velocity resolution as good as 0.1 km/s can be achieved. Several campaigns were performed in 2010 involving various experimental setups and physical processes: Boron EOS, Pre-compress H2 with special setup of diamond anvil cell and Shock coalescence. This feedback will be of a great help for the Laser Megajoule facility (LMJ) VISAR design.
