Photon Doppler velocimetry (PDV) is a widely used diagnostic for measuring extreme surface velocities. Due to limited electrical bandwidth, conventional PDV systems suffer from limited velocity dynamic range when measuring extreme phenomena in shock physics. Time lens PDV (TL-PDV) overcomes these limitations by temporally magnifying the Doppler shifted beat frequencies allowing for recording with lower bandwidth electronics. Here we experimentally demonstrate TL-PDV and show a 74 km/s velocity range using only 12.5 GHz electrical bandwidth and a temporal magnification factor of 7.6. Furthermore, we validate this system by measuring Laser-Driven Micro-Flyers (LDMF) traveling at approximately 1 km/s.
