abstract = "A laser-driven flyer plate monitored by a high-speed displacement interferometer (DISAR) was used to impact a thin sample containing an embedded dye molecule probe whose emission is sensitive to the microscopic state of the sample. In an initial demonstration, PMMA with R640 dye was impacted at 1.7 km/s, producing a 5.2 GPa shock. The dye emission redshift at the shock peak is consistent with static high-pressure calibration measurements, but after the shock dissipated and the pressure returned to ambient, the dye redshift reveals the polymer chains were densified.",
