Abstract

Laser Doppler velocimetry has became a precision tool for obtaining velocity-vs-time profiles of the motion of shocked specimens . Up to now this technique requires the use of CW-single mode Argon laser . This type of laser gives the best trade off between the necessity to have a spectral width smaller than the interferometer's free spectral range and the one to have convenient high power ( SW in the visible range ) .However it barely enables us to anlyse over a wide range of the behavior of diffusely reflecting surfaces . Furthermore this laser is cumbersome ( heavy , cooling system required ...etc ) and hardly removable . This paper presents a new conception of laser Doppler interferometry . It based on the matched filter principle using a pulsed broad bandwidth dye laser ( power > 'I kW , FWHM : 20 (,s ) coupled to a Fabry-perot interferometer acting as a spectral modulator and demodulator . In this context without any kind of laser amplifier we can record over along period of time the Doppler frequency shift of diffusely reflecting surfaces . Also we are working out the design of a multichannel interferometer. Furthermore mode stability no longer depends on emission reliability of a single mode laser but on the Fabry-Perot interferometer mechanical characteristics . Finally the system is cheap , requires no cooling system and can be easily duplicated.
