Ommatidia builds parallel Laser RADAR systems for engineering measurement.

We help engineering teams capture non-contact geometry, vibration and motion data across many points at once—so they can understand how a component or structure behaves before they make the next decision.

Parallel Laser RADAR for geometry, vibration and motion.

Ommatidia combines photonic integrated circuits, coherent detection and parallel measurement to give teams a practical route to dense, stand-off data. The goal is simple: reduce the setup burden of contact instrumentation and disconnected measurement tools when a target is large, difficult to access or dynamically complex.

Our systems support industrial metrology, structural dynamics, vibration testing and monitoring workflows. We start with the engineering question, then help define the measurement geometry, data outputs and deployment approach needed to answer it.

Questions about Ommatidia and its measurement systems

A concise guide to what Ommatidia builds, the measurements it supports and how an engineering engagement starts.

What does Ommatidia build?

Ommatidia builds parallel Laser RADAR systems for engineering measurement. The systems capture non-contact geometry, vibration and motion data across many points at once, helping teams study large, difficult-to-access or dynamically complex targets from stand-off.

Which engineering workflows does Ommatidia support?

Ommatidia supports industrial metrology, structural dynamics, vibration testing and monitoring workflows. The appropriate system and setup depend on the engineering question, the target geometry, the required data outputs and the deployment environment.

How does Ommatidia measure many points in parallel?

Ommatidia combines photonic integrated circuits, coherent detection and parallel measurement. This architecture provides a practical route to dense stand-off data and can reduce the setup burden associated with contact instrumentation or disconnected measurement tools.

How does an engineering project with Ommatidia begin?

The process starts with the decision the engineering team needs to make. Ommatidia then helps define the measurement geometry, outputs and deployment approach needed to answer that question. Teams can request a technical demonstration or discuss the application with an engineer.
