Ommatidia's Q1 & Q2 Laser Radar systems provide precise, non-contact measurement of micrometer displacements and real-time vibration analysis.
Solving Key Industry Challenges
Ommatidia's Q1 and Q2 Laser Radar work as a Laser Doppler Vibrometer with 128/65 parallel channels. Their non-contact approach delivers real-time insights into structural behavior and vibration sources, revealing unprecedented spatial detail in environments where traditional contact sensors are impractical.
Whether you are studying a motor, a concert hall, or a car, the Q1 and Q2 Laser Radars deliver unparalleled efficiency and accuracy.
Ommatidia Q-series multi-beam laser radar systems provide in-depth vibration analysis by treating each laser beam as a virtual accelerometer.
Traditional vibration measurement systems require direct contact with the structure, making them impractical for large, moving, or sensitive environments. The Ommatidia Q series offers a non-invasive, precise solution, allowing for detailed vibration analysis from a distance.
This advanced technology can be deployed quickly, and spatially dense analyses happen in minutes providing actionable insights to prevent costly failures or optimize performance in real time.

Velocity Measurement Capabilities
In contrast with traditional motion amplification, which requires calibration of distance and pose for movement estimates, the direct physical velocity readings of Ommatidia's Q Series result in quantitative outputs that you can trust.
Ommatidia's Q1 and Q2 Laser Radars achieve exquisite sensitivity to movement and are able to resolve vibration levels well below 1µm/s. The large number of parallel measurement points allows for very detailed reconstructions of vibration maps in minutes, revealing localized vibration sources and material inhomogeneities.
Dual Mode Operation
Ommatidia's systems rely on advanced instrumentation and exhibit negligible offset or drift, which makes them ideal for measurement of low frequencies. This characteristic also allows for the extraction of relative displacement curves with micrometer resolution.
Combined 3D Imaging and Vibrometry
The Ommatidia Q1’s 128 channels utilise interferometric absolute measurement technology, making it a powerful tool for vibrometry and modal analysis. By leveraging the Doppler effect and modulation of the laser beam, it separates distance and velocity data with high accuracy, ensuring reliable performance across multiple industrial applications.
The Q1 and Q2 laser radars excels at performing modal analysis, a crucial tool for understanding the vibration characteristics of mechanical structures. Modal analysis transforms complex vibration signals—both excitation and response—into easily interpretable parameters, enabling a more predictable assessment of a structure's dynamic behaviour.
Ready for Field Work
Adaptability and portability round out the advantages of Ommatidia's Q Series. The systems work effectively in any lighting condition, from total darkness to direct sunlight, and their compact, lightweight design means they can be transported conveniently as cabin luggage. Finally, they can be battery operated to measure virtually at any location.
Simple Data Collection
Efficiency and ease of use are central to these systems. Continuous data can be captured effortlessly without the need for direct contact or multiple sensors, and their virtually no-installation setup allows deployment in just minutes. With the ability to analyze tens of thousands of points in a matter of minutes, the systems are designed for fast, reliable data acquisition, significantly enhancing productivity.
