Laser Doppler Vibrometers

 
Laser Doppler vibrometry is an optical method for non-contact measurement of vibrations. Modern Laser Doppler Vibrometers (LDV) measure mechanical vibrations with the highest precision. No other technology enables vibration measurements with comparable frequency range, sensitivity and resolution along with flexibility in stand-off and working distances. This makes LDV the unbeatable instrument of choice when it comes to fast and precise vibration measurements.
