A compact differential laser Doppler velocimeter using a semiconductor laser

Directional spatial-resolved laser Doppler velocimeter using a two-colour fibre laser

A concept for the realisation of directional laser Doppler velocimeters (LDV), without having to use opto-electronic modulators like Bragg cells is presented. The concept is based on the use of a diode-pumped fibre laser, emitting at two different wavelengths. The two laser colours are used to generate two interference fringe systems in the measuring volume of the LDV system. The fringe systems...

Laser Doppler flow measurements with a semiconductor laser.

In their report on laser Doppler flow measurements (J. Biomed. Eng. 1985, 7, 225) Boggett et al. compared, among other things, three different light sources for use in a laser Doppler device. The aim of that study was to distinguish between Doppler shifted and non-shifted backscattered light to obtain a flow dependent signal, which is not caused by intensity fluctuations due to number fluctuati...

Monostatic coaxial 1.5 μm laser Doppler velocimeter using a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer.

We present a laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) in monostatic coaxial arrangement consisting of off-the-shelf telecom-grade components: a single frequency laser (wavelength λ = 1.5 μm) and a high-finesse scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer (sFPI). In contrast to previous 1.5 μm LDV systems based on heterodyne detection, our sFPI-LDV has the advantages of having large remote sensing range not limit...

An Experimental Investigation of Vortex Rings and Helicopter Rotor Wakes Using a Laser Doppler Velocimeter

Grasping Force Control for a Robotic Hand by Slip Detection Using Developed Micro Laser Doppler Velocimeter

The purpose of this paper is to show the feasibility of grasping force control by feeding back signals of the developed micro-laser Doppler velocimeter (μ-LDV) and by discriminating whether a grasped object is slipping or not. LDV is well known as a high response surface velocity sensor which can measure various surfaces-such as metal, paper, film, and so on-thus suggesting the potential applic...
