How Our SpeckleGuard™ Technology Minimizes Noise

Speckle noise has long limited the accuracy of coherent laser vibrometry, especially on rough or composite surfaces. Ommatidia LiDAR’s SpeckleGuard™ technology tackles this challenge using compound aperture diversity and real-time fusion to stabilize velocity measurements across multiple beams. The result is cleaner data, higher measurement coherence, and reliable vibration analysis without surface preparation—even in demanding industrial or research environments.

Vibration Analysis of PCBs for Critical Applications

Printed circuit boards used in space, defence, aeronautics, and transportation must endure extreme vibration without failure. Traditional accelerometer-based testing can’t reveal how individual components behave under load. Ommatidia’s massively parallel Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) and Laser RADAR technology enable non-contact, high-resolution vibration analysis across entire PCBs—identifying failure-prone areas, validating designs, and ensuring reliability in critical applications.

Remote Sound Sensing with Laser RADAR: How the Q2 Redefines Vibration and Acoustic Analysis

Remote Sound Sensing with Laser RADAR introduces a new way to capture acoustic information — not with microphones, but with light. Using Ommatidia LiDAR’s massively parallel FMCW technology, sound waves and vibrations can be detected remotely through precise laser interferometry. This enables real-time, contact-free analysis of structures, machinery, and environments, unlocking new possibilities in industrial diagnostics, aerospace testing, and acoustic research.
