Abstract

We propose an approach for absolute velocity measurement where the use of a beam displacer provides two orthogonal linearly polarized beams to probe the sample simultaneously at two different incidence angles. The approach helps remove the cross talk image and facilitates single detector-based Fourier domain Doppler velocity measurement. The system has been characterized by quantifying absolute flow velocity in a flow phantom.
