Nondestructive testing by using long-wave infrared interferometric techniques with CO2 lasers and microbolometer arrays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe three different interferometric techniques (electronic speckle pattern interferometry, digital holographic interferometry, and digital shearography), using a long-wave infrared radiation produced by a CO(2) laser and recorded on a microbolometer array. Experimental results showing how these methods can be used for nondestructive testing are presented. Advantages and disadvantages of these approaches are discussed.

Long-wave infrared imaging of vegetation for detecting leaking CO2 gas
The commercial development of uncooled-microbolometer, long-wave infrared (LWIR) imagers, combined with advanced radiometric calibration methods developed at Montana State University, has led to new uses of thermal imagery in remote sensing applications. One specific novel use of these calibrated imagers is imaging of vegetation for CO2 gas leak detection. During a four-week period in the summe...
متن کاملSpiral Antenna-Coupled Microbridge Structures for THz Application
Bolometer sensor is a good candidate for THz imaging due to its compact system, low cost, and wideband operation. Based on infrared microbolometer structures, two kinds of antenna-coupled microbridge structures are proposed with different spiral antennas: spiral antenna on support layer and spiral antenna with extended legs. Aiming at applications in detection and imaging, simulations are carri...
متن کاملReal-time, continuous-wave terahertz imaging by use of a microbolometer focal-plane array.
Real-time, continuous-wave terahertz imaging is demonstrated with a 10 mW, 2.52 THz (118.8 microm) far-infrared gas laser and a 160 x 120 element microbolometer camera. The microbolometer camera is designed for wavelengths of 7.5-14 microm but retains sensitivity at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The setup has no moving parts, and transmission-mode THz images can be obtained at the video rate of ...

Two continuous-wave (cw) single mode diode-lasers (Toshiba TOLD 9150 and Sharp LT024MDO) are applied as pump and signal sources to obtain difference-frequency generation (DFG) in the mid-infrared (MIR) region by using an AgGaS2 crystal with a length of 30 mm for 90° type I phase-matching. Tuneable MIR laser radiation around 5 µm is obtained with an output power in the order of hundred nW while...
متن کاملHollow Core Fiber Optics for Mid-Wave and Long-Wave Infrared Spectroscopy
We describe the development and testing of hollow core glass waveguides (i.e., fiber optics) for use in Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) spectroscopy systems. Spectroscopy measurements in these wavelength regions (i.e., from 3 to 14 μm) are useful for detecting trace chemical compounds for a variety of security and defense related applications, and fiber optics are a key e...
