Abstract:
A system for providing active real-time characterization of an article under test is disclosed. An infrared light source, a first visible light source and a second visible light source each outputs and directs a beam of coherent light at a particular area on the article under test via respective optical fibers. A visible light camera and a visible light second harmonic generation camera, an infrared camera and an infrared second harmonic generation camera, a sum-frequency camera and a third-order camera are each configured to receive a respective return beam of light from the particular area on the article under test via respective optical fibers. A processor receives signals from the cameras and calculates in real time respective spectroscopic signals and compares each calculated signal with each other calculated signal and with a predetermined baseline signal to ensure that the article under test conforms to an expected value.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for providing active real-time characterization of an article under test, comprising:\n an infrared light source for outputting a beam of coherent infrared light, the infrared light source configured to direct the beam of coherent infrared light at a particular area on the article under test via an associated optical fiber or bundle; a first visible light source for outputting a first beam of coherent visible light, the first visible light source configured to direct the first beam of coherent visible light at the same particular area on the article under test via an associated optical fiber or bundle; a visible light camera and a visible light second harmonic generation camera, the visible light camera and visible light second harmonic generation camera each configured to receive a first predetermined return beam of light from the particular area on the article under test via an associated optical fiber or bundle; an infrared camera and an infrared second harmonic generation camera, the infrared camera and infrared second harmonic generation camera each configured to receive a second predetermined return beam of light from the particular area on the article under test via an associated optical fiber or bundle; a sum-frequency camera configured to receive a third return beam of light from the particular area on the article under test via an associated optical fiber or bundle; and a processor coupled to receive signals from the visible light camera, the visible light second harmonic generation camera, the infrared camera, the infrared second harmonic generation camera and the sum-frequency camera, the processor configured to calculate in real time a linear spectroscopic signal, a second harmonic generation spectroscopic signal and a sum-frequency spectroscopic signal, the processor also configured to compare each calculated signal with each other calculated signal and with a predetermined baseline signal to ensure that the article under test conforms to an expected value.
