Claim 9:
10. A system for inspecting a laser-treated carbon fiber epoxy-based composite material surface, the system comprising:
at least one surface analyzer, said at least one surface analyzer configured to perform a surface analysis comprising at least one of: gloss analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, color analysis, contact angle analysis, surface resistivity analysis, optical interferometry analysis, and optically stimulated electron emission analysis;
a processor in communication with the surface analyzer;
a memory, said memory comprising a memory value corresponding to an ideal laser-treated carbon fiber epoxy-based composite material surface characteristic value, said memory configured to be accessed by the processor; and
software in communication with the processor, said software configured to compare the ideal laser-treated carbon fiber epoxy-based composite material surface characteristic value to the signal corresponding to the at least one surface analysis of the carbon fiber epoxy-based composite material surface.
