Abstract

An improved model of the detonator optical capsule was created on the basis of a standard detonator capsule No. 8 with an improved optical-fiber radiation input system initiated by a continuous infrared laser with a wavelength λ = 975 nm. Photosensitive compositions based on primary explosives — lead azide, diazodinitrophenol, fast burning complex compound — bis(ethylenediamine)-copper-(II)-perchlorate, and a secondary explosive CL-20 with an addition of 0.5% photoabsorbing nanodisized powders of aluminum, copper oxide, and graphite were studied. In the course of the work, the run-up distance and time of combustion-to-detonation transition were determined at a laser radiation power of 3.3 W.
