Electrophoretic light scattering

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Doppler principle to determine the velocities of particles of all sizes by measuring the frequency shift of the laser light which has been scattered from them.

Photoelectric Mixing As a Spectroscopic Tool

TL;DR: In this paper, two general receiver types are considered and termed, following rf terminology, low-level and superheterodyne receivers, which offer the possibility of simple observations of the special shape of the laser output, although good resolution will require long observation times.

Measurement of Laminar Flow Development in a Square Duct Using a Laser-Doppler Flowmeter

TL;DR: In this article, a system for precision measurement of fluid velocity is developed and applied to determine the laminar flow distribution in a square duct, which consists of measuring the Doppler shift of laser radiation scattered by particles moving with the fluid.
