Analysis of signal-to-noise ratio of the laser Doppler velocimeter

Abstract: The signal-to-shot-noise ratio of the photocurrent of a laser Doppler anemometer is calculated as a function of the parameters which describe the system. It is found that the S/N is generally a growing function of receiver area, that few large particles are better than many small ones, and that generally the 'fringe' or 'differential' mode configuration is equal to, or better than, the 'reference beam' mode.

“…Measuring points are spaced 0.125 diameters apart to obtain a detailed picture of the recirculation bubble downstream of the cylinder. A beam power of 3 W is maintained to eliminate noise from small particles [48,49], and velocities from particles yielding a signal-to-noise ratio less than +1 dB are omitted to avoid bias in the velocity calculation [50].…”
