Abstract
A colinear focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI) and
self-aligned focusing schlieren (SAFS) system has been assembled and
tested in the laboratory, using a turbulent jet of compressed air
issuing from a small needle nozzle to provide a high frequency density
object. Measurements verified that the coupling of the SAFS system
onto the optical axis of the FLDI system had negligible influence on
the FLDI system’s data, including tests that assessed the influence of
the inclusion of dichroic mirrors, dichroic mirror reflection angle,
dichroic mirror positioning relative to the Wollaston prisms of the
FLDI system, and SAFS light propagation direction. A qualitative
comparison of the focusing ability of the two systems was made, and
FLDI power spectral density estimates and SAFS spectral proper
orthogonal decomposition were used for quantitative comparisons of the
acoustic frequency of the jet, with good agreement between the two.
The success of the system integration and resulting jet testing
demonstrates the utility of this colinear, simultaneous FLDI/SAFS
measurement system.
