    摘要: The invention is directed to a system and method for detecting defects in a manufactured object. These defects may include flaws, delaminations, voids, fractures, fissures, or cracks, among others. The system utilizes an ultrasound measurement system, a signal analyzer and an expected result. The signal analyzer compares the signal from the measurement system to the expected result. The analysis may detect a defect or measure an attribute of the manufactured object. Further, the analysis may be displayed or represented. In addition, the expected result may be generated from a model such as a wave propagation model. One embodiment of the invention is a laser ultrasound detection system in which a laser is used to generate an ultrasonic signal. The signal analyzer compares the measured ultrasonic signal to an expected result. This expected result is generated from a wave propagation model. The analysis is then displayed on a monitor.

    摘要: The invention provides a system for generating X-rays via the process of inverse Compton scattering. The system includes a high repetition rate laser adapted to direct high-energy optical pulses in a first direction in a laser cavity and a source of pulsed electron beam adapted to direct electron beam in a second direction opposite to the first direction in the laser cavity. The electron beam interacts with photons in the optical pulses in the laser cavity to produce X-rays in the second direction.

    摘要: The present invention provides an optical filter assembly that reduces the phase and amplitude noise of a detection laser used to detect ultrasonic displacements. The filtered detection laser is directed to the surface of a remote target. Ultrasonic displacements at the surface scatter the filtered detection laser. Collection optics then gather phase modulated light scattered by the surface and direct the phase modulated light to an optical processor to produce a signal representative of the ultrasonic displacements with an improved SNR. Additional processors may determine the structure of the remote target.

    摘要: Method for limiting the amount of radiation impinging on a radiation sensitive detector that is responsive to signals of interest having infrared wavelengths of approximately 3 to 14 microns, such as an infrared camera. The method includes: directing a radiation signal through a prism and toward the radiation sensitive detector; permitting the radiation signal to impinge upon the radiation sensitive detector, e.g. upon an infrared focal plane array in the camera, when the radiation is below a predetermined threshold; and directing radiation associated with the radiation signal but having wavelengths different from said signals of interest—e.g., wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared range—on a path external to the prism, in order to initiate the limiting of the radiation impinging upon the radiation sensitive detector when the predetermined threshold is exceeded. Also, a Total Internal Reflection device that includes a prism having a thin film coated on the back surface of said prism. The material making up the prism and the thin film are selected so that, in the presence of radiation having an intensity less than a certain threshold, the refractive index of the thin film is lower than that of the prism, and when the radiation has an intensity higher than that certain threshold, the refractive index of the thin film is higher than that of the prism.

    摘要: An all-optical switching array for switching a direction of optical signals is presented. The all-optical switching array includes a first substrate. Furthermore, the all-optical switching array includes a plurality of optical switches disposed on the first substrate, wherein each of the plurality of optical switches comprises a first state and a second state and is configured to change the direction of an optical signal, depending on whether the optical switch is in the first state or the second state. The transition of the switch between the first state and the second state is triggered by an ultra-fast laser beam.

    摘要: Method for limiting amount of radiation impinging on a radiation-sensitive detector device by directing radiation toward the detector, permitting the radiation to impinge upon the detector device when the radiation is below a predetermined threshold, and utilizing radiation having wavelengths different from signals of interest to initiate limiting of the radiation impinging upon the detector when the predetermined threshold is exceeded. The optical limiter includes an IR limiting layer pair selected so that energy from visible and near infrared radiation activates the optical limiter. The limiting layer pair may includes a layer closer to the source of radiation of e.g. vanadium dioxide, vanadium sesquioxide, or germanium crystal and a layer further from the source of radiation of e.g. chalcogenide glass, germanium crystal, or sodium chloride crystal.
