Photonic doppler velocimetry in versatile form factor
LASER COMPONENTS has introduced its Photonics Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) instrument in a compact and versatile benchtop form factor. Velocity measurement of fast-moving materials is essential to a growing number of scientific and technical fields including shock physics, the study of material properties, hypervelocity impact testing, detonics and shock wave experiments.
PDV is an important diagnostic tool in many experiments and a well-accepted technique used to measure high-velocity events at speeds of up to tens of km/s.
The Doppler benchtop instrument combines the key optical components for PDV measurements in a compact instrument to enable streamlined low channel count PDV test setups.
The MATRIQ series provides the same high-performance test capabilities as our PXIe modules but in a compact benchtop design.
