Laser absorption Doppler velocimeters use a crossed-beam configuration to cancel errors due to laser frequency drift and absorption model uncertainty. This configuration complicates the spatial interpretation of the measurement since the two beams sample different volumes of gas. Here, we achieve single-beam velocimetry with a portable dual comb spectrometer (DCS) with high frequency accuracy and stability enabled by GPS-referencing, and a new high-temperature water vapor absorption database. We measure the inlet flow in a supersonic ramjet engine and demonstrate single-beam measurements that are on average within 19 m/s of concurrent crossed-beam measurements. We estimate that the DCS and the new database contribute 1.6 and 13 m/s to this difference respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The article describes the creation of the first ultrasound system for continuous monitoring of brain tissue pulsations (BTPs) using transcranial Doppler (TCD) technology.
- A lightweight, wearable probe called Transcranial Tissue Doppler (TCTD) was developed to measure tissue motion and was tested successfully with existing TCD hardware.
- The new system, Brain Tissue Velocimetry (Brain TV), can capture BTP data in real-time alongside other vital physiological measurements and shows potential for clinical assessment in healthy and stroke patients.

The single-beam KTV scheme at 212 nm produced an insufficient signal in this large hypersonic wind tunnel because of its low Kr seeding (≤5), low static pressure (∼2.5), and long working distance (∼1).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFemtosecond laser electronic excitation tagging (FLEET) is a powerful unseeded velocimetry technique typically used to measure one component of velocity along a line, or two or three components from a dot. In this Letter, we demonstrate a dotted-line FLEET technique which combines the dense profile capability of a line with the ability to perform two-component velocimetry with a single camera on a dot. Our set-up uses a single beam path to create multiple simultaneous spots, more than previously achieved in other FLEET spot configurations.

Harnessing the energy of tidal currents has huge potential as a source of clean renewable energy. To do so in a reliable and cost effective way, it is critical to understand the interaction between tidal turbines, waves, and turbulent currents in the ocean. Scaled testing in a tank test provides a controlled, realistic, and highly reproducible down-scaled open ocean environment, and it is a key step in gaining this understanding.
