  • Fiber-optic heterodyne imaging vibrometer
    Patent number: 7961332
    Abstract: A method and system for performing two-dimensional laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) are disclosed. A high speed fiber optic heterodyne imaging vibrometer can be used for the imaging of high speed surface deformation and/or vibration. Images provided by the high speed fiber optic heterodyne imaging vibrometer can be representative of movement, e.g., displacement or vibration, of the surface being imaged.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2011
    Assignee: MetroLaser, Inc.
    Inventors: James Munro Kilpatrick, Vladimir B. Markov
