Photon-Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) uses interferometry of a transmitted optical signal reflected from a fast-moving device under test (DUT) to generate a product signal at a doppler shifted frequency which is proportional to the velocity of the object being measured. The technique has applications in shock physics, where it is used to measure fast-moving objects over a short lifespan of travel, such as a bullet, shrapnel, or other shock accelerated object.
