DAS/DAGA 2025: Ommatidia Q2 Laser RADAR Exhibit Recap

Join Ommatidia along with hundreds of experts in acoustics and vibrometry at DAS / DAGA 2025—the joint annual meeting of the German and Danish Acoustical Societies—taking place at Copenhagen’s Bella Centre from March 17-20, 2025. 

This marks the first time, Ommatidia is  presenting its groundbreaking Massively Parallel Laser Radar technology and its transformative applications in acoustics, 3D vibrometry, and metrology to a wider audience in Scandinavia.

Introducing the Q-Series Laser Radar – A New Standard in Acoustics & Vibrometry

The Q-Series Laser Radars set a new industry benchmark by seamlessly integrating in a single device

✅ Long-range interferometry
✅ Laser Doppler Vibrometry
✅ Micron-level metrology
 

What makes the Q-Series unique is its ability to leverage a massively parallel laser architecture—for the first time ever—to enable simultaneous measurements across multiple channels. This results in over 10× greater efficiency compared to traditional single-point Laser Doppler Vibrometers.

 

The Q2 Laser Radar is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, delivering high-precision dimensional velocimetry data for real-time system monitoring and advanced analytics through seamless integration with third-party software and infrastructures.

Massively Parallel  FMCW Laser

The Game-Changer in 3D Vibrometry, Acoustics & Noise Control

1

NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) in Automotive Engineering

  • In the automotive industry, laser doppler vibrometry (LDV) is used to analyze how structural components vibrate and contribute to overall vehicle noise.
  • It helps in detecting resonance frequencies and structural-borne noise sources from panels, dashboards, doors, and engine compartments.
  • LDV assists engineers in optimizing materials and design, ensuring vehicles are quieter, more comfortable, and have better acoustic insulation.
  • Advanced applications include active noise cancellation system development and electric vehicle (EV) acoustics, where motor whine and road noise are key concerns due to the absence of traditional combustion engine masking noise.

2

Aircraft & Aerospace Structural Acoustics

  • In aerospace engineering, LDV is used to measure the vibrational behavior of fuselage panels, wings, and engine casings, helping in reducing aeroacoustic noise and structural fatigue.
  • Essential in turbine noise analysis, LDV allows engineers to measure how acoustic waves propagate through metallic and composite materials, aiding in the design of quieter and more efficient aircraft.
  • By mapping vibrations across the aircraft’s surface, LDV helps identify and mitigate vibration-induced fatigue, improving the aircraft’s durability, safety, and in-flight comfort.

3

Structural Noise Control in Buildings & Architectural Acoustics

  • In civil and architectural acoustics, LDV is used to analyze building panel vibrations to assess how sound is transmitted through walls, floors, and ceilings.
  • Helps engineers and architects design soundproof environments for offices, concert halls, theaters, and recording studios by optimizing material selection and structural damping.
  • LDV assists in predicting and mitigating structural-borne noise, such as impact noise from footsteps, machinery vibrations, and HVAC systems.

4

Industrial & Machinery Noise Reduction

  • LDV plays a key role in monitoring vibrations in industrial machinery and factory environments, where excessive structural vibrations can lead to increased noise pollution and operational inefficiencies.
  • Used for predictive maintenance, detecting early signs of resonance, imbalance, and material fatigue before costly failures occur.
  • Helps manufacturers optimize machine enclosures and isolation techniques to minimize structural noise transmission, improving worker safety and regulatory compliance.


Ommatidia's Q1 & Q2 systems provide precise, non-contact measurement of micrometer displacements in real-time vibration analysis and for advanced analysis.

DAS/DAGA 2025 Q2 questions

See what Ommatidia presented in Copenhagen and how Q2 captures synchronized spatial vibration data.

When and where was DAS/DAGA 2025?

The joint DAS/DAGA conference took place from 17 to 20 March 2025 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, bringing the Danish and German acoustical societies together for four days of technical exchange.

What did Ommatidia present?

Ommatidia exhibited the Q-Series Laser RADAR workflow for acoustics, vibrometry and metrology at booth B3-2, with Q2 demonstrating non-contact parallel measurement for sound and vibration engineering.

How does Q2 measure vibration in parallel?

Q2 acquires coherent line-of-sight velocity through 65 simultaneous optical channels. Preserved timing and phase across the active field reveal how multiple locations respond together, while micro-scanning adds spatial detail across successive samples.

Which engineering workflows benefit from the Q2 data?

Synchronized multi-point velocity supports operating-shape analysis, modal testing, NVH investigation, acoustic-structure studies and geometry-linked response maps. Ommatidia connects the optical acquisition to practical analysis and reporting workflows.
