LA2625C UCC RFT for the Supply of a Microscope-based Laser Doppler Vibrometer.

Tender description

Tenders are sought for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of a Microscope based Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV). The scope of this tender is to purchase a Microscope-based Laser Doppler Vibrometer capable of non-contact vibration measurement of MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) devices with vibrational resonances ranging from near-DC to 2.5 GHz. To also include all necessary training and warranties. The Microscope-based Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) must fulfil the minimum specifications listed below. At Tyndall we fabricate and test a wide range of MEMS transducer devices. For almost all of these devices, understanding the resonance frequency signature and the resonance mode shapes is of critical importance. This is because many of these are operated in a dynamic vibratory mode (e.g. vibrational energy harvesters, ultrasonic resonators, micro-pumps, inertial sensors, and acoustic wave resonators) and even for those that do not operate in vibration (e.g. pressure sensors, RF switches and micro-manipulators), understanding their vibratory response is critical to device characterisation and iteration. Consequently, a Microscope-based Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) system is required to study the mechanical vibratory properties and dynamic response of these devices.
