Interferometric Dynamic Measurement: Techniques Based on High-Speed Imaging or a Single Photodetector by Yu Fu, Giancarlo Pedrini, Xide Li

“…Two types of techniques were developed for such measurements: one is based on high-speed cameras and the other uses a single photodetector. The limitation of the measurement range along the time axis in camera-based technology is mainly due to the low capturing rate, while the photodetector-based technology can only do the measurement on a single point. …”
