General information

Short Summary
The Irish SME offers a miniature, full-featured Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) for high-precision, non-contact vibration and displacement measurement. Despite its ultra-compact size, it delivers wide bandwidth, long measurement distance, and nanometer-scale resolution, making it suitable for applications in aerospace, automotive, electronics, biomedical, structural monitoring, and beyond. The SME is seeking partners for distribution, integration, R&D, or application development.
Full Description
The Irish SME offers the world’s smallest LDV (approx. 110×50×25 mm, ~300 g) integrating optics and signal processing into a single photonic chip. It combines portability with laboratory-grade performance, allowing vibration measurements from DC to 2.5 MHz, maximum velocity of 20 m/s, and displacement resolution down to the nanometer scale.

Its versatile lens system covers measurement distances from 0.025 m up to 100 m, with manual focusing for optimal signal collection. The device provides both digital (Ethernet) and analog (SMA) outputs, supports external trigger and synchronization, and can be networked for multi-point or large-scale structural monitoring.

This device can be easily embedded in robotic arms, UAVs, or automated test benches, enabling non-contact vibration sensing in scenarios where traditional LDVs are too large, heavy, or power-hungry. Typical applications include aerospace material testing, automotive NVH analysis, MEMS/semiconductor device characterization, ultrasonic vibration studies, structural health monitoring, and industrial quality control.
Advantages and Innovations
• Miniaturisation & portability: up to 10× smaller and lighter than conventional LDVs, enabling UAV/robot integration.
• High performance: wide frequency range (DC–2.5 MHz), high velocity measurement (20 m/s), ultra-low noise (<0.1 pm/√Hz).
• Versatility: interchangeable lenses for short-range or long-range measurements (up to 100 m).
• Integration ready: Ethernet & analog outputs, SDK available, easy integration with data acquisition systems.
• Intelligent design: built-in DSP for real-time signal processing, multi-channel synchronization capability.
• Rugged & low power: IP64 protection, <4 W consumption, suitable for field and industrial use.
• Innovation through photonic integration: based on silicon photonics technology (PIC), combining optics and electronics in a single chip for higher stability, lower cost, and scalability.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
• Measurement principle: Heterodyne laser Doppler vibrometry (non-contact, optical).
• Frequency bandwidth: DC to 2.5 MHz.
• Maximum velocity: up to 20 m/s.
• Displacement resolution: down to 0.01 nm (noise density <0.1 pm/√Hz).
• Working distance: 0.025 m – 100 m (with interchangeable manual-focus optics, depth of field ~10–20%).

• Output:
o Digital: Ethernet interface, SDK available for data acquisition & integration.
o Analog: SMA connectors, velocity/displacement signal.
• Synchronization: External trigger input/output, multi-channel synchronous measurement supported.
• Dimensions / weight: approx. 110 × 50 × 25 mm, ~300 g.
• Power supply: <4 W consumption, USB-C powered.
• Environmental protection: IP64 rated (dust- and splash-resistant).
