Laser Doppler velocity profile sensor using a chromatic coding

A novel laser Doppler sensor, which allows the direct measurement of velocity profiles over the length of the measurement volume is presented. The measuring principle is based on a chromatic coding of the detected tracer particles, arising due to the dispersion of the two employed laser wavelengths. Velocity measurements with a spatial resolution up to 60 µm inside the measuring volume are demonstrated.
