The German National Metrology Institute (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB) has developped the international standard ISO 16063-41:2011 "Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers - Part 41: Calibration of laser vibrometers" together with Polytec. Polytec's interferometers are inherent part of the PTB's standard measurement devices for dynamics (example).

"Calibration of White-light Interferometers" is a joint project where Polytec cooperates with universities, institutes and standardization committees working on national standards within the German VDIVDE Calibration Guideline 2655.

Within ther framework of the joint project HOLOVIB, computer generated holograms are developped for innovative measurement methods using laser Doppler vibrometry. Partners are Polytec, the University of Stuttgart and Bosch GmbH.

LAVINYA (ended in 2005) aimed at improving and disseminating the knowledge on laser techniques for vibration measurement with reference to both laser Doppler vibrometers and full field techniques.
