Description
We propose to develop a laser ultrasonic system that addresses the US Navy needs for non-destructive inspection technology of composite containment structures in electro-magnetic rail-gun launchers. The laser ultrasonic system provides fast, non-contact evaluation of composites and can detect various internal defects, bond integrity, cracks, delamination, and porosity. The system will be based on Q-Peak"s innovative, mid-IR, laser source for ultrasound generation, which facilitates the development of a compact, mobile instrument that meets the particular Navy application.
