Abstract
The technique of Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA), as the name stands for, is a technique of using the laser light and the Doppler effect for velocity measurements. It is an optical method and hence tightly related to both the physical and geometrical optics. In order to depict the functionality of the LDA method, some physical properties of the light and the light wave propagation in medium will firstly be considered.
