DORT Vibe

DORT-Vibe is a vibration measuring device that can resolve micro-movements with extremely high sampling rates. Due to the optical measuring method, eigenmodes of vibration of the test object are not influenced. Using multipoint measurement, every micromotion  in 3D can be determined.

– measurement range 10cm … 100m
– optical measurement (non-contact, unwired)
– resolution in µm-range
–  frequency detection rate 0 … 100kHz
– sample rate > 1MHz
– multipoint measurement (parallel, in real-time)
– dynamic range up to 1mm/µs
– 3D measurement of each measurement point
– accoustic wave detection

Possible applications

– vibration analysis
– Structure-borne sound propagation
– Vibration & shock measurement
– High dynamic object tracking
– material science and characterisations

DORT Sync

DORT-Sync is a fibre-based time and frequency transfer system. The performance values meet the highest standards (opitic atomic clocks).
An integrated optical path stabilisation system enables advanced data transmission and coding modes.
– Allan deviation (1s) < 10-15
– integrated optical fibre stabilisation
–  distributing length up to 1000km (via optical fiber)
–  distributing length up to 1km (free space)
– time coded data transmission

Possible applications
