Altitude measurement using laser beam reflected from water surface
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper altitude measurement from water surface using laser beam is presented. Research data indicate that the reflection of infrared waves from water surface is about zero and it is less than 2% for visible radiations. Phase-shift and heterodyne technique was used for the measurement, and the laser beam ( mW p nm 10 , 700 = = l ) was modulated by a sine wave having a fixed frequency. The optimum design and low-noise elements made it possible to detect a light power about 20 nW at operating frequency.

Measuring the deposited energy from a non-ionizing laser beam in water by digital holographic interferometry
Digital Holographic interferometry is a powerful and widely used optical technique for accurate measurement of variations in physical quantities such as density, refractive index, and etc. In this study, an experimental digital holographic interferometry setup was designed and used to measure the amount of energy changes induced by absorption of radiation from a non-ionizing infrared laser beam...

Roland V. Shack University of Arizona Optical Sciences Center Tucson, Arizona 85721 Abstract. We propose a novel method to measure the astigmatism of laser diodes that is based solely on power measurements and does not require the use of any imaging system. Experimental realization of this method resulted in a sensitive measuring technique. Using it, a linear dependence of astigmatism change on...
full textGaussian Beam Imaging for Converted and Surface Reflected Waves
An overview of Gaussian beam imaging is given for converted and surface reflected seismic waves. The earthquake seismology community now regularly uses seismic waves from distant sources to illuminate structures beneath seismic arrays in so-called passive imaging experiments. Similarly, reservoir structures can be imaged with seismic waves incident from below using sources in boreholes. Gaussia...

full textFood surface texture measurement using reflective confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used in the reflection mode to characterize the surface texture (roughness) of sliced food surfaces. Sandpapers with grit size between 150 and 600 were used as height references to standardize the CLSM hardware settings. Sandpaper particle sizes were verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mean amplitude (in micrometers) of surface varia...
