Abstract
A rotating mirror camera and pulsed ruby laser have been combined to record laser speckle photographs at framing rates in the range 105 - 106 frames s"1. The laser is repetitively Q-switched by means of a Pockels cell, which is controlled by photodetectors inside the camera. This allows well-correlated double exposure speckle photographs to be recorded on two separate runs of the camera. The photographs are analysed by an automated image processing system to give whole-field displacement data with submicron accuracy. The paper is illustrated with results showing the dynamic displacement field in polymethyl methacrylate due to solid particle impact.
