Technology

Two complementary laser interferometric methods.

Both techniques measure surface deformations on the order of nanometers as a part is subjected to a controlled stress. Subsurface defects create local variations in stiffness, producing characteristic deformation patterns that are imaged in real time or post-processed for analysis.

Shearography

Speckle Pattern Shearing Interferometry

A robust, vibration-tolerant method suited to larger structures and production environments. A laser illuminates the test surface, creating a speckle pattern that is optically sheared so light from neighboring points interferes. Images captured before and after a controlled load reveal the gradient of out-of-plane displacement — highlighting local weaknesses caused by defects.

Key characteristics

  • Non-contact and non-contaminating
  • Insensitive to rigid-body motion and vibration
  • Large fields of view, high throughput
  • Effective on composites, sandwich panels, bonded structures

Common stressing methods

  • Thermal (IR heating)
  • Vacuum / pressure
  • Vibration / acoustic
  • Mechanical loading

Typical applications

Aerospace structures, marine composites, wind-energy components.

Digital Holography

Full-field wavefront interferometry

Records the full complex wavefront of laser light reflected from the test object by interfering it with a reference beam on a high-resolution camera sensor. Comparing holograms taken under different load states yields highly detailed, quantitative maps of surface displacement — ideal for smaller, precision components.

Key characteristics

  • Very high spatial resolution and sensitivity
  • Excellent for complex geometries and tightly bonded parts
  • Often paired with ultrasonic excitation
  • Runs on vibration-isolated setups for maximum stability

Typical applications

  • Turbine engine seals & shrouds
  • Medical implant devices
  • Microelectronic packaging
  • Precision bonded assemblies
