Numerical simulation of speckle noise in laser vibrometry.
نویسنده
چکیده
The fundamental mechanism by which speckle noise is generated in laser vibrometry before describing a new numerical simulation for prediction of speckle noise level in a real measurement is considered. Factors within the simulation include rate of change of phase within individual speckle transitions, low-pass filtering to match the frequency range of experimental data with which comparison is to be made, a track-and-hold facility for periods of low signal amplitude, and wavefront curvature effects. The simulation data provide real insight into the phase and amplitude modulation of the Doppler signal, and good agreement is found in the final comparison with experimental data from a measurement on a rotating target.

A new method for filtering speckle noise in vibration signals measured by Laser Doppler Vibrometry for on-line quality control
Mechanical fault diagnostics for quality control of manufacturing appliances is often based on the analysis of machine vibrations. In the presence of mechanical faults, vibration signals comprise periodic impulses with a characteristic frequency corresponding to a particular defect. Vibrometers based on LDV (Laser Doppler Vibrometry) are an alternative to the traditional use of piezo-electric a...
متن کاملAdvanced Laser Vibrometry in Pulsed Mode Using Poly-pulse Waveforms and Time-frequency Processing
Vibration sensing by laser radar with a pulsed emission is a promising technique for long range target recognition and identification. However, compared to its continuous-wave counterpart, it is impaired by its greater sensitivity to speckle noise and its lack of robustness to multiple independent vibrations of the target surface. Using poly-pulse waveforms for greater velocity resolution, we d...

متن کاملAdvanced signal processing methods for pulsed laser vibrometry.
Although pulsed coherent laser radar vibrometry has been introduced as an improvement over its continuous wave (CW) counterpart, it remains very sensitive to decorrelation noises, such as speckle, and other disturbances of its measurement. Taking advantage of more polyvalent polypulse waveforms, we address the issue with advanced signal processing. We have conducted what we believe is the first...
متن کاملLaser vibrometry from a moving ground vehicle.
We investigated the fundamental limits to the performance of a laser vibrometer that is mounted on a moving ground vehicle. The noise floor of a moving laser vibrometer consists of speckle noise, shot noise, and platform vibrations. We showed that speckle noise can be reduced by increasing the laser spot size and that the noise floor is dominated by shot noise at high frequencies (typically gre...
