Visualization by means of coherent light sheets: application to different flows

Light-sheet generator systems using a sweeping, focused laser beam and spherocylindrical optical components are described and their respective performances discussed. They allow the visualization of supersonic air flows by means of light scattering. Tomographic recordings give a three-dimensional re...

Summary:Light-sheet generator systems using a sweeping, focused laser beam and spherocylindrical optical components are described and their respective performances discussed. They allow the visualization of supersonic air flows by means of light scattering. Tomographic recordings give a three-dimensional reconstruction of the flow (especially the stationary structures) and can be realized in real-time.
