Diffractive beam splitter for laser Doppler velocimetry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 devices one can achieve achromatic behavior that makes the sensor insensitive to wavelength drifts or mode hopping of a semiconductor laser.

Single camera 3D planar Doppler velocity measurements using imaging fibre bundles
Two frequency planar Doppler Velocimetry (2ν-PDV) is a modification of the Planar Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) method that allows velocity measurements to be made, quickly and non intrusively, across a plane defined by a laser light sheet. In 2ν-PDV the flow is illuminated sequentially with two optical frequencies, separated by about 700MHz. A single CCD viewing through an iodine absorption cell i...
متن کاملSingle camera 3D planar Doppler velocity measurements, using two frequency Planar Doppler Velocimetry (2ν-PDV) and imaging fibre bundles
A modified Planar Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) technique, two frequency PDV (2-PDV), is described that allows measurements of the velocity field over a plane defined by a laser light sheet using sequential illumination of the flow with two closely separated (~1GHz) frequencies of laser light. This allows a common-path imaging head to be used containing a single CCD camera instead of the usual cam...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser interference technique with diffractive beam splitter for fabrication of three-dimensional photonic crystals
A simple optical interference method to fabricate microperiodic structures was demonstrated. Femtosecond laser pulse was split by a diffractive beam splitter and overlapped with two lenses. Temporal overlap of the split femtosecond pulses, which requires 10 mm order accuracy in optical path lengths, was automatically achieved by this optical setup. One-, two-, and three-dimensional periodic mic...
متن کاملDiffractive beam splitter characterization via a power-recycled interferometer.
We used the high-precision laser interferometer technique of power recycling to characterize the optical loss of an all-reflective grating beam splitter. This beam splitter was used to set up a Michelson interferometer with a power-recycling resonator with a finesse of 883. Analyzing the results obtained, we determined the beam splitter's total optical loss to be (0.193+/-0.019)%. Low loss all-...
متن کاملPower-recycled Michelson interferometer with a 50/50 grating beam splitter
We designed and fabricated an all-reflective 50/50 beam splitter based on a dielectric grating. This beam splitter was used to set up a power-recycled Michelson interferometer with a finesse of about FPR ≈ 880. Aspects of the diffractive beam splitter as well as of the interferometer design are discussed.
