Q2 Laser Radar for Aeroelasticity

Vibrational dynamics of a Morane Saulnier MS.760 Paris aircraft wing, with Ommatidia Q2 Laser Radar: a contactless, easy to deploy alternative capable of capturing full 3D vibrometry and metrology data using a single mobile unit. A single operator performs comprehensive 3D vibration measurements across aircraft structures, including: wing tips, wing roots, fuselage, auxiliary power units, fuselage sections, and structural junctions. Collaboration with ONERA.

Large Rotating Machinery

Discovering the capabilities of our Q2 system for vibration analysis of large rotating machinery.

We scanned an electric generator operating in steady state at a nominal rotation rate of 3600 RPM, acquiring 101 scan frames with the 65 simultaneous laser channels of the Q2.

See, what happened.

Wind Turbine Tower monitoring

Measurement and analysis of structural vibrations in a real wind turbine tower using the Ommatidia Q1 multi-channel lase Doppler vibrometer, aimed to characterise the dynamic behaviour of the tower under both operational (moving rotor) and non-operational (static rotor) conditions, and to proof the capability of Q1 to resolve modal content across multiple spatial channels simultaneously.

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.
