摘要:
This invention is characterized in that a light beam from a light source is made to enter a diffraction grating and .+-. nth-order (n=1,2, . . . ) diffracted lights from the diffraction grating are made to enter a moving object at an angle substantially equal to the angle of intersection of the angles of diffraction of the two diffracted lights from the diffraction grating. As a result, the two diffracted lights are converged by a lens system provided between the diffraction grating and the light source on the moving object and intersect with each other. Scattered light subjected to Doppler shift by the moving object is detected by photodetector thereby detecting the velocity information of the moving object.

An apparatus for detecting velocity of an object, includes a light source for generating light having a wavelength .lambda., a light-transmission block for receiving the light from the light source, and guiding the light onto the object, and a photosensor for detecting the light from the object on which the light from the light-transmission block is incident. The light-transmission block is integrally constituted by a diffraction grating for diffracting the light from the light source to produce two diffraction lights, and an optical element for causing the two diffraction lights from the diffraction grating to be incident onto the object at a predetermined incident angle. The diffraction grating and the optical element are arranged so as to have substantially constant sin.theta./.lambda. independently of a change in wavelength .lambda. of the light from the light source where .theta. is the incident angle of each diffraction light onto the object. A velocity of the object is detected through detection by the photosensor.

摘要:
A Doppler velocity meter has a radiation source for emitting a radiation beam the wavelength of which fluctuates, such as a laser; an optical system for directing the radiation beam to an object at an incident angle .theta. and a detector for detecting scattered beam generated from the object by directing the radiation beam. The optical system has a diffraction grating which serves to change the incident angle .theta. in accordance with a change in the wavelength .lambda. of the radiation beam in such a manner as to maintain the value of sin .theta./.lambda. substantially constant. The velocity meter can accurately detect the velocity of movement of the object regardless of any change in the wavelength .lambda., because the diffraction grating serves to substantially compensate for any change in the frequency of the scattered beam caused by the change in the wavelength.
