Hans W. Mocker and T. J. Wagener, "Laser Doppler optical air-data system: feasibility demonstration and systems specifications," Appl. Opt. 33, 6457-6471 (1994)
A compact laser Doppler velocimeter with diode-pumped solid-state laser technology at 1.06 μ and a novel solid-block beam-splitting interferometer was demonstrated. This system allows for accurate Doppler velocity measurements even in a vibration environment. A comparison of the backscatter measurements with a backscatter sonde from the University of Wyoming showed excellent agreement. Based on demonstrated performance and technology projection, the system specifications of an optical air-data system at 2.015 μm are determined, and a detailed design concept is presented. In addition, the potential for a multifunctional sensor that can determine air data and detect wind shear and wake vortices is addressed.
