Abstract
THE object of associating these principles has been to make possible the measurement of the velocity of any phenomenon which will reflect, refract or diffract a laser beam. Our particular interests lie in phase objects relevant to combustion research, such as laminar and turbulent flame fronts, shock and detonation waves and other steep refractive index gradients associated with heat and mass transfer, or pressure changes, but the method is not confined to these.
