Abstract
This chapter presents relevant details on the plethora of dynamic compression methods used to study the spectroscopy of shocked molecular materials. It begins with the experimental details of historical plate impact methods, using explosives or gas guns to accelerate flyer plates in embodiments aimed at collecting spectra. It then discusses the experimental details of the lower strain rate methods, from Kolsky bars, ramp compression, and dynamic anvil cells. It ends with a section on laser shock compression methods concentrating on tabletop methods including ultrafast laser direct shock drive and laser-driven flyers, but not including large-scale high compression systems like Omega or NIF.
