Nondestructive testing by using long wave infrared interferometric techniques with CO2 lasers and microbolometer arrays

摘要

We describe three different interferometric techniques (electronic speckle pattern interferometry, digital holographic interferometry, digital shearography), using a long wave infrared radiation produced by a CO2 laser and recording on a microbolometers array. Experimental results showing how these methods can be used for nondestructive testing are presented. Advantages and disadvantages of these approaches are discussed.
