Photon Doppler Velocimeter.
Available in MATRIQ and PXI platforms
Doppler 1000 Series
The Quantifi Photonics Doppler instrument combines the key optical components for Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) measurements in a compact instrument to enable streamlined high-channel count PDV test setups.
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.
Photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV) is an established technique used to measure high-velocity events up to tens of km/s. It is also known as heterodyne velocimetry and can be used as a supplementary tool or replacement for Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR).
Accurate control and measurement of target, probe and reference power
All of your optical power management in a compact benchtop instrument. This purpose built Doppler instrument streamlines your PDV test setup.
Generate reliable, repeatable measurements
Minimize the number of manual optical connections for reliable and repeatable measurements.
Drastically reduce the footprint of your test setup
Replace the stack full of bulky individual optical test instruments with one small instrument and save valuable lab space.
Versatile configuration
It also supports traditional homodyne and frequency-shifted heterodyne PDV testing.
- Study of material properties and impact response using shock physics
- Replacement for Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) with an integrated fiber-based system
- Measure velocities in dynamic experiments with high temporal precision
Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV)
The velocity measurement of fast-moving materials is essential to several areas of scientific and technical investigations, and new applications will continue to be found.
