Applications of Laser Ultrasound

Abstract

In this lecture I shall attempt to summarise the wide range of potential applications for laser ultrasound. The combination of laser generation with reception offers a completely remote ultrasonic inspection system, thereby opening up a wide range of exciting applications to flaw detection and materials characterisation. Although I propose to concentrate on the combination, I also discuss applications of laser-received or laser-generated ultrasound alone as appropriate, especially in the first two sections.
