ABSTRACT:
A laser beam is irradiated onto a moving object, and scattered light reflected from the moving object is split into two beams, which are then received through respective spatial filters that are 90° out of phase with each other, thereby providing two signals. The signals are processed to determine the movement direction of the moving object.
