Horizontal Wind Measurements using the HARLIE Holographic Lidar

We report the results of three campaigns in which the horizontal wind vector at cloud altitudes was measured using the holographic, conical-scan lidar HARLIE in its nadir-viewing mode. Measurements were made during the HOLO-1 and -2 tests in Utah and New Hampshire in March and June 1999, respectively, and at the DoE-ARM site in Oklahoma in September/October 2000. A novel algorithm facilitates the wind vector analysis of the HARLIE data. Observed wind velocity and direction were compared with radiosonde records and with other data obtained from video cloud imagery and independent lidar ranging. The results demonstrate good agreement between HARLIE data and the results of other methods. The conically scanning holographic lidar opens up new possibilities for obtaining the vertical profile of horizontal winds.

Displacement analysis of the interior walls of a pipe using panoramic holo-interferometry

Standard phase-displacement equations, used for both double exposure and real time holo-interferometry, are combined with the geometrical mapping and optical characteristics of panoramic annular lenses to accurately measure surface displacement on the interior wall of a pipe. In this approach, one panoramic annular lens is used to illuminate the surface with coherent light, and the resulting intensity distribution is holographically recorded through a second panoramic annular lens. Interference fringes are obtained in real-time by comparing holograms recorded before and after the pipe is displaced. The annular images and the holographic fringes are acquired and stored digitally in a computer system. Image transformation algorithms are applied to remove optical distortions in the holographic pattern and fringe loci are compared to those predicted on the basis of theory.
