Improving performances and safety of pyrotechnic devices requires a sharp knowledge of the shock to detonation transition phenomenon in high explosives. Current models to describe this phenomenon largely involve empiric parameters based on macro scale experiments. To improve predictive capability of these models, it is necessary to get experimental data at a microscopic scale. To provide such data, we developed an experimental setup to shock a high explosive up to 30 GPa and perform in-situ measurement of its Raman spectra under this loading. The device includes a shock generator based on explosive driven plate impact triggered by a laser pulse and a diagnostic involving an excitation laser and a spectrometer coupled with an intensified CCD...
