Laser vibrometry

  • Chapter
Optical Methods in Engineering Metrology

Part of the book series: Engineering Aspects of Lasers Series ((EALS))

Abstract

Laser doppler velocimetry (LDV) or laser doppler anemometry (LDA) is now a wellestablished technique which is used primarily for non-intrusive measurements in fluid flows. The first major conference concerning its development was held in Copenhagen in 1975 and there are currently several texts available which discuss the principle and practice in detail (see the list preceding the references).
