The DopplerPXIe is a revolutionary PXIe optical module that enables compact, inexpensive and robust Photonic Doppler velocimetry.
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).
With the new DopplerPXIe optical module, we can provide the necessary equipment to perform reliable, repeatable measurements for simple or multiplexed PDV experiments.
The DopplerPXIe supports traditional homodyne and frequency-shifted heterodyne PDV testing.
