A combined normal- and transverse-displacement interferometer with an application to impact of y-cut quartz

Abstract: A new transverse-displacement inteferometer (TDI) is described. This interferometer makes use of intensity variations of a beam obtained by superposition of two beams diffracted symmetrically from a diffraction grating copied onto a plane surface. The TDI is used to monitor the transverse motion of the rear surface of a y-cut quartz target plate in a plate-impact experiment. For this application, a 200-line/mm grating is copied onto the rear surface of the target plate. The normal motion of the rear surface is… Show more

“…The heterodyne scheme overcomes this challenge by shifting the signal frequency at zero velocity to 1.3 GHz, which enables the accurate determination of normal and transverse particle velocities with nanosecond time resolution [6] and provides automatic, unambiguous detection of velocity reversals. The effective DPDV measurement sensitivity to transverse velocity is controlled by the grating pitch and theoretically equivalent to that of a transverse displacement interferometer (TDI) [7]. The measurement sensitivity to normal velocity is increased by 1.78× compared to the sensitivity of the PDV using the 0 th order (reflected) beam [5].…”

“…One approach used has been the normal and transverse displacement interferometer [Kim et al, 1977]. While this approach has some advantages and works well at lower velocities, it is not suited to higher (100's of meters per second) free surface velocities.…”

“…The normal velocity is typically measured with a normal displacement interferometer (NDI) which requires a reflective surface. The transverse wave is measured using a transverse displacement interferometer (TDI) and requires a diffraction grating in order to measure the shear waves [5].…”
