The recent progress in high-speed (≥100k H z) laser diagnostics for hypersonic flows is reviewed. Owing to the ultrahigh flow speed, a laser frequency of 100 kHz or higher is required for hypersonic diagnostics. Here, two main laser diagnostic techniques are discussed: focused laser differential interferometry (FLDI) and pulse-burst laser-based diagnostics. Single- and multiple-point FLDI measurements have been widely applied to hypersonic flows for flow velocity and density fluctuation measurements. The progress of pulse-burst laser-based hypersonic diagnostics, including flow velocity measurements and 2D flow visualization, is also discussed.
