Abstract

In measuring object rotational velocity using vortex beam, the incident light on a tilted object causes spectral broadening, which significantly interferes with the identification of the true rotational Doppler shift (RDS) peak. We employed a velocity decomposition method to analyze the relationship between the spectral extremum and the central frequency shift caused by the object tilt. Compared with the linear growth trend observed when calculating the object rotational velocity using the frequency peak with the maximum amplitude, the central frequency calculation method effectively reduced the deviation rate of the RDS and velocity measurement value from the true value, even at large tilt angles. This approach increased the maximum tilt angle for a 1% relative error from 0.221 to 0.287 rad, representing a 29.9% improvement. When the tilt angle was 0.7 rad, the velocity measurement deviation reduction rate can reach 5.85%. Our work provides crucial support for achieving high-precision rotational velocity measurement of tilted object.
