Abstract

AbstractA laser multi‐focus velocimeter (LMFV) for measuring particle diameter, velocity and refractive index simultaneously is described. A phase diffraction grating with pulse width modulation is used to obtain several focal points with almost equal intensity and to construct the optical system. The fringes of the LMFV using multi‐beam interference have a sharper intensity distribution and wider period than those of a laser Doppler velocimeter using two‐beam interference. Therefore, the LMFV makes it possible to measure high velocities and large particle diameters with high accuracy. The validity of the method was confirmed theoretically and experimentally.
