The present invention relates to a method for automatically inspecting and/or sorting in order to analyze and/or distinguish, within a flux, objects belonging to at least two separate categories on the basis of the chemical composition. The method involves providing a substantially single-layer flow of randomly arranged objects passing over a predetermined width; projecting a laser flux that is shaped within an analysis area having the objects passing therethrough; collecting and shaping the detection signals corresponding to the responses output by each object affected by the laser flux; processing and assessing the collected and shaped detection signals, synchronized with the projection of the laser flux, by means of an adapted analysis device that makes it possible to distinguish between the objects. Said method is characterized in that it also involves: dividing the original incident laser flux (3) into a plurality of collimated or focused secondary beams (3') and simultaneously applying the latter at points spaced apart and distributed within the analysis area (4); and simultaneously collecting, in parallel, the detection signals generated by each secondary beam (3') on contact with an object, item, or piece (1) within the analysis area.
摘要:
Systems and techniques are disclosed for removing contaminants from a surface of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) and, optionally, estimating the remaining lifetime of the TBC. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is one method that may be used to remove contaminants from a surface the TBC prior to performing photo luminescence piezo spectroscopy (PLPS) or another spectroscopic technique on a thermally grown oxide (TGO). LIBS may facilitate monitoring substantially in real-time the chemical composition of the material removed. LIBS may be used to remove substantially only the contaminants with minimal effects on the underlying TBC. One technique for determining when to stop removal of material from the TBC is cross-correlation between a spectrum collected from the ablated material and a reference spectrum collected from a reference substrate. In some embodiments, the same system may be used to perform LIBS to remove impurities and PLPS to measure stress in the TGO.

The present invention relates to a system and to a method for measuring the elementary concentrations of matter from a sample (1) containing a plurality of elements by LIBS analysis. The matter is heated so as to generate a plasma (12) in order to determine the chemical composition thereof from the spectral analysis of the radiation thereof. Spectral rays of interest are identified (20) among those emitted by the constituents of each element in the composition of the sample (1). The intensities of the identified spectral rays (21) are measured. The chemical composition of the plasma is then calculated (27) based on an estimation of the temperature (T), of the electronic density (ne), and of the relative values of the elementary concentrations (Cx). According to the invention, the absorption coefficient based on the wavelength is calculated (28) for the spectral areas of the rays of interest. Based on an estimation of the plasma width (L), the spectral luminance of the plasma is calculated (29) for the same spectral areas, and a comparison is made (30) between the intensity and the shape of the spectrum thus calculated and those of the measured spectrum. The calculations (27, 28, 29) and the comparison (30) are repeated in an iterative manner in order to adjust the temperature, the electronic density and the relative values of the elementary concentrations and of the plasma width. This iteration is repeated until a difference between the intensity and the shape of the calculated spectrum and those of the measured spectrum which is lower than or equal to a predetermined threshold value in terms of absolute value is obtained (31).
