Diffractive beam splitter for laser Doppler velocimetry.

A miniaturized sensor head for the optical measurement of velocities of fluids based on laser Doppler velocimetry is demonstrated. Holographic optical elements mounted on a glass substrate are used for beam splitting and deflection. Volume holograms in dichromated gelatin exhibit good optical efficiency (75% transmission of a cascade of two holographic optical elements). With diffractive device...

Laser Doppler Velocimetry

Thermographic laser Doppler velocimetry.

We propose a point measurement technique for simultaneous gas temperature and velocity measurement based on thermographic phosphor particles dispersed in the fluid. The flow velocity is determined from the frequency of light scattered by BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ phosphor particles traversing the fringes like in conventional laser Doppler velocimetry. Flow temperatures are derived using a two-color rati...

Self-mixing laser Doppler velocimetry with a dual-polarization Yb:Er glass laser

Self-mixing laser Doppler velocimetry using a dual-polarization Yb:Er-doped phosphate glass laser is investigated. The two orthogonally polarized eigenstates emitted simultaneously by the laser oscillator are employed to perform a heterodyne detection, allowing a complete characterization of the lateral sidebands generated via the optical feedback around the beating peak. Two different experime...
