Abstract: A vibrometer and a method for optically measuring oscillations at an object, including a radiation source for creating a source beam, a beam splitter to split the source beam into a measuring beam and a reference beam, an optic interference device for interfering the reference beam with a measuring beam, at least partially reflected by the object, and a detector, with the interference device and the detector being embodied cooperating such that a measuring beam, at least partially deflected by the object, and the reference beam interfere on the detector. The vibrometer is embodied as a heterodyne vibrometer, having an optic frequency shift unit, which is arranged in the optical path of the vibrometer, to form a carrier frequency by creating a frequency difference between the measuring beam and the reference beam.

Abstract: A device for the optic measuring of an object (1), including a signal processing unit (2) as well as an interferometer with a light source (3) and with at least one detector (4a, 4d). The interferometer is embodied such that a light beam (12) created by the light source (3) is split at least into a working beam (12a) and a reference beam (12b), with the working beam (12a) impinging the object (1) and the working beam (12a) is at least partially reflected by the object and interfered with the reference beam (12b) on the detector (4a, 4b). The signal processing unit (2) is connected to the detector (4a, 4b) and includes a vibrometer processing unit (2f), which detects the motion of the object (1) from the measuring signals of the detector (4a, 4d).
