Holographic particle image velocimetry (HPIV) encounters problems such as intrinsic speckle noise, external noise and aberration, and practical restrictions in test flow volume or media. The novel technique, in-line recording off-axis viewing (IROV), uses a single laser beam to record a hologram which is then viewed off axis during reconstruction. It combines advantages of both inline and off-axis holography, achieving high spatial information capacity, low noise, and practicality. Instantaneous velocity vector field in the three-dimensional (3D) flow of an unstable vortex ring in water has been measured by IROV. The vorticity distribution and circulation as a function of radius from the vortex core center are extracted from the 3D velocity field.
