Argon flash is a method for generating very short and extremely bright flashes of light using a shock wave in argon or other suitable noble gas. The device consists of a vessel filled with argon and a solid explosive charge. The explosion generates a shock wave, which heats the gas to very high temperature (over 10 K). The gas then emits a flash of intense visible and ultraviolet radiation. The amount of explosive can control the intensity of the flash.

| - Argon flash is a method for generating very short and extremely bright flashes of light using a shock wave in argon or other suitable noble gas. The device consists of a vessel filled with argon and a solid explosive charge. The explosion generates a shock wave, which heats the gas to very high temperature (over 10 K). The gas then emits a flash of intense visible and ultraviolet radiation. The amount of explosive can control the intensity of the flash. Argon flash is a standard procedure for eg. photographing explosions, or for use in high altitude test vehicles. (en)
