We present a method for calibrating piezoelectric sensors using a laser Doppler vibrometer. Our method uses an average of Fourier transform terms of the recorded signal from the piezoelectric sensor, which is compared with the laser probe measurement in the overlapping frequency range. We use our method to calibrate the response of miniature needle sensors employed in acoustic emission testing to several different excitation sources of stress waves in the frequency range of 20–300 kHz. We demonstrate that the output of the piezoelectric sensors can be accurately scaled with particle velocity.
