Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are predestined for the construction of large high-speed rotors. However, their anisotropy makes complex models necessary, which must be validated by in-situ measurements. By reading out the far field of diffraction gratings on the surface of a 500 mm diameter FRP disk, we measured its deformation, damage and modal behavior as a function of the rotational velocity. We achieved high spatiotemporal resolution and high measurement resolution at surface velocities up to 275 m/s. To reduce systematic uncertainties and to measure at more complex rotor geometries, we introduce a new sensor setup with in situ calibration.
