Abstract

A novel technique is represented that allows one to measure vibrations from a distant object with micron and sub-micron amplitudes in real time.

The method is based on the speckle interference phenomena and speckle pattern analysis. The scheme allows us to use a single photodiode as a photo-detector and to obtain information from an analog signal without any additional post-processing, which significantly simplifies the device realization compared with the available today laser vibrometers based both on interferometric and on speckle pattern analysis principles.

The scheme investigated was implemented as a device and several studies of the practical applications were carried out.
