MSA-600 Micro System Analyzer MSA-600 Micro System Analyzer Measuring dynamic response and topography of MEMS and microstructures Product brochure

Measuring dynamic response and topography of MEMs and microsystems Visualization of dynamic response and static characterization are key to testing and developing MEMS and other microstructures as e.g. micro acoustic transducers. They are important for validating FE calculations, determining crosstalk effects and measuring surface deformation. The MSA-600 Micro System Analyzer is the all-in-one optical measurement workstation for characterizing surface topography as well as in-plane and out-of-plane motions. This instrument delivers measurement flexibility and precision, adapting to the...

Polytec's MSA-600 Micro System Analyzer combines three highly sophisticated measuring techniques in one instrument. This provides comprehensive investigation of microstructures in a single workstation. ■ Real-time vibration analysis Real-time characterization of out-of-plane (OOP) vibrations by laser Doppler vibrometry to frequencies up to 2.5 GHz and with a displacement resolution down to the (sub-)picometer level ■ Planar motion analysis Characterization and live-mode1 visualization of in-plane motion by stroboscopic video microscopy to frequencies up to 2.5 MHz and with a displacement...

Advancing microsystems of tomorrow Simplify model validation Validate and refine your FE simulations using highly precise experimental data. Laser Doppler vibrometers are established tools for quickly and reliably measuring the mechanical response of MEMS devices to electrical and physical stimuli. Non-contact optical measurement avoids any influence on the structure. Broadband measurement provides frequency response and transfer functions with excellent amplitude resolution. Optimize device functionality Measuring the real-time response behavior of a device allows to optimize operation and...

Real-time vibration analysis Scanning laser Doppler vibrometry (SLDV) provides non-contact, real-time measurements of velocity and displacement on a grid of selected measurement points. This allows characterization of out-of-plane vibrational behavior. Unique features include the ability to acquire data with (sub-)picometer displacement resolution, to capture frequency response up to 2.5 GHz, and to analyze non-linear systems. Highlights Dynamic response (vibration) measurement of velocity and/or displacement Full-field vibration mapping and broadband, out-of-plane frequency response...

Planar motion analysis Stroboscopic video microscopy provides a powerful method for the measurement and true motion visualization of the in-plane dynamics of microstructures. To precisely measure the planar motion of the device under test, a combination of stroboscopic illumination, digital imaging and pattern tracking is applied. Thus motions of fast moving objects can be sharply frozen in time to capture and track the exact position of a region of interest (ROI) on the specimen.

Flexible and upgradeable configurations The main advantage of the MSA-600 is the “all-in-one” solution. The MSA-600 Micro System Analyzer can be configured with the combination of out-of-plane laser vibrometry, planar motion analysis or static topography as required for testing. Whether single or combined tasks are needed, Polytec can provide the correct solution. For out-of-plane laser vibrometry, the system can be configured for either single beam or dual beam, differential operation. The differential systems provide an additional second reference beam to subtract out base or background...
