A high performance heterodyne interferometer is described that measures transient phenomena of flow fields.Data are acquired through 64 detectors in parallel with the output from each detector directed into a dedicated phase detector, digitizer, and buffer memory. This system operates at a 100 kHz frame rate with a precision of X /300 rms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
