Digital Laser Doppler Vibrometer

Fiber-Series

SWIR Fibre-Optic Laser Vibrometer

Infrared laser Doppler vibrometer with compact fibre-coupled measuring head. Ideal for confined spaces, in climatic cham-
bers, or or when exposed to high levels of radiation.

i
IDEAL FOR FOR SPECIAL MEASUREMENT ENVIROMENTS

The FIBER Series is a follow-up development of the NOVA Series in which

• Dark / rough surfaces the compact optical head is connected via fibre optics with the measuring
instrument. Separate fibres for the measurement beam and the reflected
• Where physical access is difficult
signal ensure optimum signal quality.
• Measurements in vacuum- or
climatic chambers Compact measuring heads make the system not only particularly suitable
• Quality inspection from different for measurements in a confined space but also simplify handling when
points of view the application requires a frequent repositioning of the head. Specially
made heads are available for vacuum- or climatic chambers as well as for
• High speed vibrations
up to 30 m/s extreme environments with very high levels of background radiation.
