Title: Detection d'inclusions dans le verre
Inventor: EDWARDS GEOFF
IPC: G01N21/958
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: On fait balayer la lumière (34, 34a) émise par un ou plusieurs laser (32, 32a) au travers d'une vitre de verre (2). La lumière vient en incidence directe sur les inclusions dans le verre, et indirectement par réflexion de la surface postérieure de la vitre. La lumière (38) diffusée par une inclusion vient ainsi fournir au moins deux signaux de dispersion à un détecteur (18). Une analyse de cette lumière permet alors de déterminer l'emplacement, la taille et la profondeur de l'inclusion. Une caméra enregistrant la forme du rayonnement laser diffusé permet un nouvel examen des inclusions détectées et leur classement en diffuseurs doux tels que des bulles et en diffuseurs secs tels que des défauts de matière. On peut également repérer les inclusions de sulfure de nickel par une analyse spectroscopique. Une modulation des faisceaux laser (34, 34a) améliore la précision et fournit des repères de synchronisation pour la lumière diffusée.
