Abstract

Continuous-line acoustic array behavior in a laser doppler anemometry (LDA) based sound pressure measurement system is considered. Traditional LDA ultrasound measurement systems intentionally minimize the laser beam intersection or interference fringe volume to better achieve point measurements of the sound field. The large laser beam diameters due to beam spreading in remote sensing applications from space or airborne platforms make this approach impractical. Since the sound pressure signal is integrated over the interference fringe volume, continuous-line acoustic array behavior is expected to be observed proportional to the length of the laser light path through the interference fringe volume. This behavior is analyzed from a theoretical perspective and an experimental setup to test for continuous-line acoustic array behavior in a LDA sound pressure measurement system is presented.
