Abstract
A new, compact laser Doppler velocimetry is proposed, which is composed of a single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser modulated by a dynamical triangular current and a collimating lens. It can indicate the direction of velocity without ambiguity in the wide dynamic range of 5.2mm/s to 479.9mm/s when the sampling time is 0.1 second in the measurement. The accuracy of velocity measurement is better than 3.1% in the whole velocity range. What's more, this LDV works very well on different diffusing surfaces, even on a black glossy photographic paper.
