ABSTRACT:
Apparati and methods are disclosed for detecting vibrations, displacements and motions of a remote surface with high sensitivity, high frequency response and high accuracy using a laser beam with optical modulation, optical hetrodyning and phase detection. High speed digital signal processing is used. Shared aperture design is employed for utilization of a flat target, double-pass design for large lateral movement tolerance with high resolution, and dual target design for detection of displacement as well as angular changes in vibrational motion.
