In the pressure range 0.7–29 GPa, a brightness decay time of 280 to 70 ns was recorded. The brightness decay time increased by more than an order of magnitude when replacing the optical window made of solid epoxy resin by LiF. However, even this increased time of brightness decay is much shorter than the estimated times of hot-spot temperature relaxation due to heat conduction in the calculation with stationary parameters (<span>(t_{a} = 10^{- 2})</span> s) and due to light emission (<span>(tau = 2.4 cdot 10^{-3})</span> s). It is concluded that the dominant mechanism of temperature relaxation is the turbulent mixing of the medium behind the shock-wave front.

In this paper, it is proposed to use a four-pin gauge to correct measurements. Two signals are recorded from <span>(Pi)</span>-shaped gauges, one of which is located in a plane tangent to the front, and the other in a plane parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Next, the two signals are combined into a true velocity signal that is insensitive to the curvature of the front. The second difficulty that arises in electromagnetic measurements is the rather large size of the gauges. Typically, the length of the working arm <span>(L)</span> is about 1 cm. An analysis of the potential distribution in the gauge shows that the proposed combined gauge is equivalent to two sensors of zero width, and the effective length <span>(L)</span> is the distance between the midlines of the leads. It is shown that the value of <span>(L)</span> can be reduced to 1.5–2 mm with a lead width of about 0.5 mm.
