Traditional laser Doppler vibrometers (LDV) with helium-neon (HeNe) laser sources have been a useful tool for non-contact vibration measurement for many years. Optomet has perfected HeNe based laser vibrometry with the Vector series. The Vector series with a laser wavelength of 633 nm enables the non-contact vibration measurements of objects of microscopic to macroscopic sizes with the highest accuracy and precision.
High Flexibility for a Variety of Applications
The Vector series is the standard vibrometer for a wide range of vibration measurement problems. It is particularly suitable for surfaces with high to moderate surface reflectivity, for measurements on or below the surface of water and for applications in which the smallest laser spot size is critical.
Water is not an Obstacle
Helium-Neon lasers have a wavelength of 633 nm and are able to shine through water with minimal loss of laser power. HeNe vibrometers are therefore indispensable if there is a layer of water between the vibrometer and the vibrating measurement object.
Measuring Microstructures
Due to their short wavelength, HeNe lasers allow the measurement beam to be optimally focused on the order of micrometers. They are therefore the ideal choice for measurements of the smallest features or microstructures.
