Abstract
A Twyman‐Green arrangement with a narrow laser beam and twin photomultipliers is used to obtain positive indication of the direction of fringe movement, resolution of 1/12 of a fringe, and good discrimination against shock induced radiation. The instrument has been successfully applied to the study of ionization behind strong argon shocks.Keywords
