| The Micro System Analyzer is the premier measurement tool for the analysis and visualization of structural vibrations and surface topography in micro structures such as MEMS. By fully integrating a microscope with scanning laser doppler vibrometry, stroboscopic video microscopy and scanning white light interferometry, the Micro System Analyzer is designed with an all-in-one combination of technologies that clarifies real microstructural response and topography. |
| SYSTEM: Optical Unit The MSA Optical Unit is offered in six configurations that allow individual or combined in-plane measurements, out-of-plane measurements or topography measurements. Depending on system type, the optical unit comprises the head with microscope optics as well as a single-point or differential fiber optic interferometer. In all configurations, the Sensor Head has optimized microscope optics, an integrated LED illumination unit and a progressive scan video camera which provides a live video stream for the Data Management System. Processing Unit The Processing Unit comprises the Data Management System with MSA Software, the Junction Box and, in system configurations that include vibrometry, the Vibrometer Controller. Software The Software comprises the different programs for data acquisition and evaluation: ?Scanning Vibrometer software for out-of-plane measurements offers quick and easy set up, simple data acquisition and outstanding 3D data visualization. ?Planar Motion Analysis software similarly controls the in-plane measurement process and provides a dynamic visualization. ?Topography Measurement System Software for data acquisition, analysis, 2D and 3D data representation, including profile cuts. Configurations The Micro System Analyzer can be configured to cover many operating modes and measurement ranges needed to characterize microstructures. The following table helps to match the appropriate system to the application. we provides systems for either single-task or combined measurements. For out-of-plane vibration measurements, the system can be configured for either single-beam or differential operation. Differential systems can perform both single-beam and differential measurements. In addition to the standard 1.5 MHz version, there is a 24 MHz option that features both high-frequency data acquisition and a high-frequency waveform generator. |
| FEATURES: Award-Winning Micro System Analyzer Incorporated in the MEMS design and test cycle, we provides precise 3D dynamic and static response data that simplifies troubleshooting, enhances and shortens design cycles, improves yield and performance, and reduces product cost. This outstanding degree of innovation has been recognized by two prestigious awards: the 2005 Sensor Innovation Award and the Photonics Circle of Excellence for the development of microscope-based scanning vibrometry. Superior Dynamic Characterization Compared to Single Technology Solutions The combination of two complementary measurement techniques for investigating the vibrational behavior of small structures provides superior performance. For example, it can quickly identify, visualize and measure system resonances and transient responses, enhancing overall measurement productivity. This improved efficiency is especially important when integrating the measurement system into automated processes for MEMS production environments. Single-technology solutions like ESPI, white light interferometry, and phase-shifting interferometry give a much more limited view of small structure response. Finds All Mechanical Resonances Without Prior Information Using wide-bａnd excitation, the highly sensitive laser-Doppler technique can rapidly find all mechanical resonances (in-plane and out-of-plane) without prior information. In a second step, stroboscopic video microscopy is used to obtain accurate amplitude and phase information of in-plane resonances identified through laser vibrometry. |
