This review is concerned with the physical problems of fiber ring interferometry which
underlies the fiber-optic gyroscopy harnessing the Sagnac effect. Locally reciprocal and …

We describe an improved two-dimensional optical scanning technique combined with an
ultrafast Sagnac interferometer for delayed-probe imaging of surface wave propagation. We …

This work presents a review of progress and development in the field of adaptive laser
interferometry. This method enables highly precise and reliable measurement of various …

Laser ultrasonics is a technique where lasers are employed to generate and detect
ultrasound. A data collection method (full matrix capture) and a post processing imaging …

An array of ten pulsed Nd: YAG lasers was constructed in order to study the effects of
generating ultrasound with an array of laser sources. The laser system permitted the spatial …
