Abstract

Described is a stabilizing circuit of the Doppler beat signal obtained by the coherence-dependent fiber-optic laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV), which employs both a self-mixing laser diode (SM-LD) and a 10m-100m long optical fiber. The stabilizing circuit maintains the SM-LD drive current at an optimum value, which gives a maximum Doppler signal during long hours.
