GSC 13,386-1 CHERN ABSTRACT An improved NDE method utilizes a laser source with modulator and scanning mirror, a pancake shape eddy current detecting coil, a lock-in amplifier, a system controller, and an impedance gain/phase analyzer. The laser is directed by the scanning mirror to a specimen to be analyzed. A very localized or small area of the specimen is impacted directly by the laser beam creating a thermal and stress wave in the specimen. An impedance gain/phase analyzer is connected to the eddy current detecting coil and to a lock-in amplifier through the system controller. The lock-in amplifier is also synchronized to the laser modulator. The system controller is used to control the lock-in amplifier, scanning mirror, and to process data from the analyzer. Raster scanning of the laser beam across the specimen allows the detection by the coil of the laser generated thermal and elastic strains induced in the specimen by the laser. The rastering of the laser beam is controlled by the controller by positioning the mirror. 12
