An imaging white light velocimeter

Conference ·
OSTI ID:449828
An imaging white light velocimeter consisting of 2 image superimposing Michelson interferometers in series with the target interposed is demonstrated. Interferometrically measured 2-D velocity maps can be made of moving surfaces using unlimited bandwith incoherent and extended source-area lamps. Short pulse and broadband chirped pulse lasers can be used to provide temporal resolution not previouslypossible with monochromatic illumination. A 20 m/x per fringe imaging velocimeter is demonstrated using an ordinary camera flash for illumination.
