Polytec is excited to launch the 2nd Microstructure User Meeting 2027. This international event will bring together experts and practitioners to explore cutting-edge developments in optical vibration measurement for MEMS, ultrasonic transducers, acoustic waves, and other microstructure applications.
Join us in November 2027, at Polytec Headquarters in Waldbronn, Germany, for a day of inspiring presentations, interactive discussions, and collaborative networking. Our aim is to create a high-level platform where knowledge is shared, new ideas emerge, and connections extend beyond our existing community.
Key Topics of the Event are:
- MEMS Mirrors
- MEMS Microphones
- MEMS Membranes and Pressure Sensors
- CMUT & PMUT
- Inertial Sensors
- Wafer Mapping of MEMS Devices
- SAW Components & Microfluidics
- Cantilevers and AFM Tips

Interesting applications
Electronics, semiconductors and solar
Polytec’s optical vibration sensors with laser vibrometers are indispensable tools for you – whether you’re carrying out dynamic tests in research, design and industrial testing, or monitoring processes such as the bond process when manufacturing power electronics.
Microtechnology and nanotechnology
Precise, reliable and fast measuring technology for characterizing and monitoring the quality of devices is decisive to in developing and producing microsystems. This is all the more important since microsensors are increasingly taking over safety-related tasks too – placing high demands on reliability and functional safety.
How laser vibration measurement helps in R&D
Laser vibrometry focusing on the small details
- Characterize small and delicate structures in a non-contact way.
- Analyze vibrations, acoustics and dynamics.
- Measure biomedical samples, electronic components and microstructures like MEMS using light, without mass-loading, and from DC up to the GHz range on a large bandwidth.
Laser vibrometers focus on the small details, measuring deflection shapes for model validation. They assess the frequency response and determine resonance frequency, impulse response, and Q-factor.
No matter how big or small – Polytec vibrometers measure it!
