Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid interferometric system designed to measure the surface velocity of tested specimens in shock-wave experiments. The system integrates the All-Fiber Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (AFVISAR) and the Photonic Doppler Velocimeter (PDV) interferometric channels using a single probing system to measure the velocity of one surface point of specimens under study. This design allows the same optical signal containing the Doppler frequency shift to be processed by the AFVISAR and PDV independent interferometric devices. The interferometric system has been tested in dynamic experiments and provides the velocity measurement accuracy of at least 1.5 m/s with a nanosecond time resolution.
