Abstract—The article considers the possibility of constructing laser Doppler velocity vector meters based on a bichromatic source of spatially combined Gaussian or Bessel beams, the two-wave single-channel Bragg acousto-optic modulator with a ratio of ultrasonic wave frequencies equal to the ratio of the wave numbers of diffracted laser beams. The spatial, chromatic, and frequency structure of the 3D coordinate-measuring basis formed from the Gaussian or Bessel beams by the same sequence of optical elements and the photoelectric conversion adequate to the structure of light scattered by the investigated medium provide the minimum hardware Doppler spectrum width and increased noise immunity.
