Abstract :
Optical velocimetry has been an important experimental diagnostic for many experiments. Recent improvements to heterodyne techniques have resulted in compact, inexpensive and high performance velocimetry measurement systems. We report on developments and improvements in this area and illustrate the performance of Photon Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) by showing several experimental examples.
