VibroFlex Range - Remote detection of vibrations from distant structures-7

How it works Laser Doppler vibrometers use light as information carrier, evaluating the backscattered light from a vibrating target, which modulates the laser frequency according to the Doppler effect. The integrated interferometer is used to optically extract the modulation, using a photodetector to convert it into a high-frequency electrical signal. The decoder electronics demodulate the FM signal in order to derive velocity, displacement or acceleration. QTec® patented multipath interferometry uses reception diversity for recombining the best readings from different perspectives. This enables...
