The Type 1 Laser Vibrometer is a very short range optical radar capable of measuring sub-millimeter displacements from DC to kilohertz rates. The electronics can be remotely located so the unit's optical system can be placed in a hostile environment. Transmitted and reflected light are conveyed to and from the electronic package via fiber optic cable.

The unit is powered from an external DC source ranging from 9 - 25 volts with a current capablility of 0.7 amps. The output of the unit is an analog signal proportional to the target's distance from the optical system. The vibrometer is calibrated to a value of 1 volt per inch of displacement. Maximum displacement range is approximately 3 inches and is dependent on the target's reflective properties. Custom displacement ranges - CALL

The laser wavelength employed by the unit is 660 nm(visible reddish orange). The use of visible light aids the user in targeting the optical system onto the measurement point of interest.
