Imaging white light VISAR

Conference ·
OSTI ID:449977
An imaging white light velocimeter consisting of two imagine 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 bandwidth incoherent and extended area sources. Short pulse and broadband chirped pulse lasers can be used to provide temporal resolution not possible with monochromatic illumination. A 20 m/s per fringe imaging velociemter is demonstrated using an ordinary camera flash for illumination.
