Non-Contact Vibrometry of Sand and Glass Bead Beds Using Q1/Q2 Laser RADAR

Ommatidia’s Q1/Q2 Laser RADAR is bringing aerospace-grade optical vibrometry to geoscience. In a recent campaign, the system was deployed to analyze vibration propagation in sandbanks and glass bead beds—entirely without contact or surface instrumentation. By capturing high-resolution phase-resolved data from afar, researchers were able to reconstruct wave dynamics across fault-like structures, offering a powerful new tool for seismic studies, terrain diagnostics, and civil engineering applications.
