Direction Sensitive LDA Using a Single High-Frequency Pulsed Laser Diode And a Single Photodetector Without Frequency Shifting

Developments in Laser Techniques and Applications to Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

Conventional directional LDAs are based on the frequency shifting technique. In this paper a technique has been proposed for the realization of a direction sensitive HF-pulsed LDA on the basis of switch demultiplexing and quadrature signal processing. This technique allows one to take advantage of HF-pulsed LDAs and to use only one high-frequency pulsed laser diode and one detector for directional flow velocity measurements without frequency shifting. The first experimental verification of this technique has been made. Improvements to the experimental set-up and practical miniaturized realizations of a directional HF-pulsed LDA using light fibres and integrated optical devices are described.
