Q2 Laser RADAR
Q2 Laser RADAR for full-field vibration and 3D metrology
Is Q2 right for your vibration measurement?
Q1 may be a better fit when…
Choose Q1 when broad stand-off coverage on larger targets matters more than dense 3D geometry and advanced motion reconstruction.
Dense dynamic characterization
Capture field-level vibration data that reveals resonances, operating behaviour and structural response.
Complex or low-cooperation surfaces
Measure challenging geometries and surfaces where contact sensors add time, mass or access constraints.
Geometry-linked analysis
Connect vibration and motion directly to the target’s measured 3D geometry.
3D velocity vectors & strain
Reconstruct full-field 3D velocity vectors from multiple views, then calculate strain from geometry-linked displacement fields.
Full-field NVH and structural dynamics without dense accelerometer mounting
Automotive and component NVH
Capture full-field response on car bodies, tyres, doors, mirrors and components without sensor mass or point-by-point setup.
Structural and modal analysis
Reveal mode shapes, operational deflection and spatial vibration response across structures and components.
Decision-ready vibration and geometry outputs
Spectra and mode maps
See resonances and mode shapes across the measured field, not a handful of isolated response points.
Point clouds and vectors
Review measured geometry and directional motion together in one engineering view.
Geometry-linked vibration fields
Relate vibration behaviour to the features, surfaces and locations that matter on the target.
3D velocity vectors & strain analysis
Reconstruct full-field 3D velocity vectors from multiple views, then calculate strain from geometry-linked displacement fields for deformation and structural-response analysis. Read the technical note →

Q2 FAQs
Evaluate Q2 first when you need dense dynamic characterization across a real component—not a sparse set of points—and the decision depends on vibration behaviour, complex geometry, or multi-view motion. It is the right starting point for full-field NVH, modal, and validation work where the measurement must explain what the structure is doing.
Yes. Q2 is built for non-contact measurement where surface finish, complex shape, restricted access, or low cooperation makes conventional instrumentation impractical. Its speckle-management workflow combines IQ amplitude control with angular diversity, helping teams obtain useful measurement data from demanding targets without adding dense contact sensors.
Q2 connects measured 3D geometry with time-resolved vibration data, so teams can work from the same target context to produce velocity fields, spectra, mode maps, vectors, and geometry-linked motion views. The exported measurement record also preserves configuration, timing, and synchronization information for reproducible downstream analysis.
Yes. With a planned multi-view measurement, Q2 reconstructs full-field 3D velocity vectors from co-registered line-of-sight velocity measurements. Geometry-linked displacement fields can then be differentiated to calculate strain for deformation and structural-response analysis. The measurement plan should define the viewing geometry, excitation and required engineering outputs first.
Choose Q1 when stand-off industrial metrology or remote vibrometry on larger targets is the priority and you do not need Q2’s denser 3D geometry, complex-surface capability, or advanced motion reconstruction. Use the Q-Series comparison to select the system around the measurement outcome—not the product name.
Start with the target, measurement objective, access conditions, and the engineering decision you need to make. Our team turns that into a focused Q2 evaluation plan—covering capture geometry, the motion outputs to review, and the evidence needed for a confident system decision.
A successful evaluation becomes a practical measurement workflow. Ommatidia engineers help align the Q2 setup, acquisition approach, and exported outputs with your NVH, modal, or metrology process, so your team can move from a promising demonstration to repeatable engineering results.

Q2 planning and specification questions
Use these published Q2 values to define the measurement envelope, then confirm the final configuration against the target and engineering decision.
Which measurement tasks are a good fit for Q2?
Q2 is designed for full-field vibration measurement and 3D metrology when the same engineering campaign must connect motion with measured geometry. With planned multi-view capture it can support 3D velocity-vector reconstruction and geometry-linked strain calculation. The target, working distance, surface, motion bandwidth and required output still determine the setup.
What range and spatial density does Q2 provide?
The published measurement range is 1.0 to 50 m. Q2 has 65 simultaneous parallel channels and supports up to 1,300 points per line through 20 elevation steps acquired sequentially. Coverage and usable point density depend on the target geometry, optical access, return signal and the measurement plan.
What dynamic measurement limits should a Q2 plan consider?
Q2 lists a 40 kHz array sampling frequency, a velocity range up to ±155 mm/s and sensitivity below 50 nm/√Hz. Treat these as configuration inputs rather than a universal performance guarantee. The expected motion, analysis band, surface return, viewing geometry and validation channel should be defined before the test.
How can Q2 integrate into a field or laboratory workflow?
Q2 provides Gigabit Ethernet plus GPS, analogue and digital I/O synchronization. The published environmental envelope is IP54 and 0 to 40 °C, with external-battery operation up to 240 minutes. Calibration is stated according to ISO 16063-41. Confirm protection, power, timing, mounting and data-output requirements for the actual deployment.
