  Here we describe the implementation and calibration of a streaked visible
spectrometer (SVS) for optical pyrometry and emission/absorption spectroscopy
on light gas gun platforms in the UC Davis Shock Compression Laboratory. The
diagnostic consists of an optical streak camera coupled to a spectrometer to
provide temporally and spectrally-resolved records of visible emission from
dynamically-compressed materials. Fiber optic coupling to the sample enables a
small diagnostic footprint on the target face and flexibility of operation on
multiple launch systems without the need for open optics. We present the
details of calibration (time, wavelength and spectral radiance) for absolute
temperature determination and present benchmark measurements of system
performance.
