| Popis: | The spatial structure of the optical field on the detector of a laser Doppler velocimeter is examined. It is shown that for sufficiently small scatterers, the optical field is a traveling wave of shape determined by the detector optics alone. The direction of travel of the optical field reflects that of the scattering particle. Thus, the direction of motion of the particle is determined by temporal correlation of photocurrents from two spatially offset detector arrays. The arrays also eliminate the Doppler pedestal as shown by Ogiwara (1979). In this paper, the theory of the new method is described; experimental implementation will be described in a complementary paper. |
