Recent work set out a comprehensive analysis of the velocity sensed by a single laser vibrometer beam incident in an arbitrary direction on a target that is of substantial interest in engineering - a rotating shaft requiring three translational and three rotational co-ordinates to describe its vibratory motion fully. Six separate "vibration sets", each a combination of motion parameters, appeared in the full expression for vibration velocity sensitivity and the difficulties associated with resolving individual vibration components within a complex motion were highlighted. One specific way in which the model has been extended is the subject of this paper. The scanning laser Doppler vibrometer has become an increasingly popular instrument especially for experimental modal analysis. Continuously scanning strategies, in which the laser beam orientation is a continuous function of time, have received considerable attention. Researchers have reported use of several different types of scan profile including a tracking profile in which the probe laser beam remains fixed on a single point on a target such as a rotating disc. When the velocity sensitivity model was originally reported, it was stated that it could be used with such applications and this is shown explicitly, for the first time, in this paper.
