Abstract:
The technology disclosed in this application provide for non-destructive and non-contact optical characterization of fiber reinforced plastic composites and other structures under test based on optical transmission scanning.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for performing non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of a target sample on optical transmission measurements, comprising:\n directing probe light to transmit through a target sample to produce transmitted probe light; operating an input optical polarization device in an optical path of the probe light prior to the target sample and an output optical polarization device in an optical path of the transmitted probe light after the target sample; using an optical detector to receive the transmitted probe light and to measure optical transmission of the target sample in connection with operations of the input and output optical polarization devices; scanning a relative position between the target sample and the probe light to direct the probe light to transmit through the target sample at different locations of the target sample to obtain measurements of optical transmission of the target sample at the different locations as a result of the scanning and operations of the input and output optical polarization devices; and processing measurements of optical transmission of the target sample at the different locations to extract information on a structural pattern distribution in the target sample and optical retardation measurements caused by the target sample at the different locations.
