Evaluation of a catheter type laser Doppler velocimeter using dualcore fiber

All-Fiber Configuration Laser Self-Mixing Doppler Velocimeter Based on Distributed Feedback Fiber Laser

In this paper, a novel velocimeter based on laser self-mixing Doppler technology has been developed for speed measurement. The laser employed in our experiment is a distributed feedback (DFB) fiber laser, which is an all-fiber structure using only one Fiber Bragg Grating to realize optical feedback and wavelength selection. Self-mixing interference for optical velocity sensing is experimentally...

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...

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

Calibration of the CERTIFIER Air Velocity Calibrator Using a Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV)

Introduction Traditionally a Pitot-static tube connected to a pressure transducer is used to make air velocity measurement. Lately, velocity transducers based on the principle of convective heat transfer have become popular. Both types of transducers need occasional calibrations. Also, several regulatory agencies require that the calibration of velocity transducers used in certain applications ...

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...
