Uniform light sheet
Control thickness, height, divergence, and edge quality.
Shape matter and flow · Industry & flow
Particle image velocimetry
Turn a seeded flow field into a crisp, time-resolved velocity map.
Application focusUniform light sheet
Flow motion
Choose pulse duration and separation around velocity and scale.
Laser & camera
Make triggering and timing part of the source specification.
Why the source matters
PIV needs a uniform, stable light sheet with enough power or pulse energy for flow-field illumination and synchronized imaging.
The correct source is defined at the sample or process—not at the laser aperture. Wavelength and operating mode set the interaction; stability, delivery, timing, and control determine whether it stays useful in the complete system.

Application workflow
Design from the result backward.
Three decisions turn the application into a practical source specification.
Size the field
Define field of view, sheet thickness, working distance, seeding density, and camera sensitivity.
Choose CW or pulsed
Use velocity, frame rate, exposure, and temporal resolution to set operating mode.
Close the timing loop
Specify pulse separation, trigger levels, jitter, camera synchronization, and interlocks.
Selection guide
Match the architecture to the experiment.
