N2 - The laser shock system uses acoustic shockwaves to measure the interface strength of newly designed nuclear fuel plates. The quantitative measurement of interface strength will help understand fuel performance during irradiation. The laser shock technique imparts laser energy into a plate that then creates an acoustic shockwave. The amount of energy in the plate is proportional to the surface velocities measured on the back side of the plate. An accurate determination of surface velocity will enable better fuel performance predictions. The focus of this paper is on the implementation of a Photonic Doppler Velocimeter to corroborate the Fabry-Perot measurements from the laser shock system. Currently, a Fabry-Perot velocimeter takes the velocity measurements that are converted in stress. We have designed and implemented a Photonic Doppler Velocimeter to corroborate the Fabry-Perot measurements, which we discuss here along with implementing the short time fast Fourier transform to demodulate the heterodyne beat frequency into velocities. The Photonic Doppler Velocimeter has successfully corroborated the Fabry-Perot measurements.
