Abstract

Program demonstration and user instructions are presented for FabryVB5. This computer program was created for use in analyzing Fabry-Perot interferometer records that detail the velocity time histories of fast moving surfaces. Graphical curves representing peak fringe positions and fiducial timing dots are extracted from a digitized film record or from a CCD digital image. An analysis is demonstrated on a sample velocimeter record along with some mathematical formula and routine operations. Routines used to analyze calibration records on streak camera distortions are illustrated in an appendix. This is a Microsoft Visual Basic{trademark} version for the PC.

The VELOPT code for estimating performance of a Fabry-Perot velocimeter

Technical Report Goosman, D R

The VELOPT code calculates an estimate of the performance of a Fabry- Perot (FP) velocimeter. The code is a macro-driven, Symphony spreadsheet written for an IBM PC. VELOPT is designed to be used in conjunction with the POWER codes, which estimate the amount of light entering a collection fiber and the ratio of collected light to light leaving the laser fiber. In this model a velocimeter system, single- frequency laser output illuminates a moving test surface through a lens. Reflected light from the test surface is concentrated by a lens into an optical collection fiber. The collected light is presentedmore »« less

Application of Fabry--Perot velocimeter to high-speed experiments

Conference Chau, H H ; McMillan, C F ; Osher, J E

The Fabry--Perot (F--P) velocimeter is a useful instrument for measuring the velocity of objects at speeds ranging from fractions of a kilometer per second to a few tens of kilometers per second and up. Because of its immunity to electromagnetic interference and its velocity resolution, it has become the prime diagnostic tool in our electric-gun facility. Examples of its application to high-speed experiments include the following areas: Electric-gun flyer studies; Spallation of materials under high-speed impact; Momentum-transfer studies; Pressure pulse created by high-velocity impact; Detonation-wave studies in high-explosive experiments. The F--P velocimeter at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) includes amore »« less
Manybeam velocimeter for fast surfaces

Conference Goosman, D ; Avara, G ; Steinmetz, L ; ...

For the past 5 years, we have conceived, built and successfully used a new 10 beam laser velocimeter for monitoring velocity vs time histories of fast moving surfaces, and will have a 20 beam capability soon. We conceived a method to multiplex 5 to 10 beams through a single Fabry-Perot interferometer, without losing any light that our equivalently-performing single beam system could use, and with negligible cross- talk. This saves the cost of 16 interferometers, simplifies operation and takes less space than without multiplexing. We devised special efficient light collecting probes, streak cameras that change sweep speed during the coursemore »« less

A dual, parallel cavity Fabry-Perot interferometer

Conference Steinmetz, L L ; Goosman, D R ; Avara, G R

Laser Doppler shift velocimetry operating in the fringe mode is widely used to record the velocity history of optically reflective solid objects. When the object is rapidly accelerated, the time resolution of the Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI)/streak camera system is frequently inadequate to unambiguously record the data. That is, there is a {open_quotes}dead time{close_quotes} during which fringes form and expand without producing a resolvable record. To remedy this, we have developed a dual, parallel cavity FPI which produces two sets of fringes at the slit of the recording streak camera. The input mirror of the FPI is a conventional flat whilemore »« less
