    摘要: The invention is directed to a wave characteristic adjusting device used to compensate for a wave characteristic distortion caused by the scanning motion of a probe beam of a two-wave mixing interferometer. The invention is also directed to an apparatus and method for using the wave characteristic adjusting device in a rapid scanning laser ultrasound testing device. In a rapid scanning laser ultrasound testing device, a laser pulse is directed at periodic points along a path across the surface of a manufactured object. The laser pulse initiates an ultrasonic signal associated with the manufactured object. An interferometer may be used to measure the initiated ultrasonic signal. The interferometer scans a probe beam along a path similar to the sonic initiating laser. A pulse of the probe beam is directed at the manufactured object in the vicinity of the initiating laser pulse while continuously scanning. As a result, the probe beam pulse may exhibit a Doppler shift. This Doppler shift may cause a loss in sensitivity of the two-wave mixing interferometer. The wave characteristic adjusting device may be used to compensate for the Doppler shift, thereby improving the sensitivity of the two-wave mixing interferometer.

    摘要: An inspection system is provided to examine internal structures of a target material. This inspection system combines an ultrasonic inspection system and a thermographic inspection system. The thermographic inspection system is attached to ultrasonic inspection and modified to enable thermographic inspection of target materials at distances compatible with laser ultrasonic inspection. Quantitative information is obtained using depth infrared (IR) imaging on the target material. The IR imaging and laser-ultrasound results are combined and projected on a 3D projection of complex shape composites. The thermographic results complement the laser-ultrasound results and yield information about the target material's internal structure that is more complete and more reliable, especially when the target materials are thin composite parts.
