Abstract:
An active real-time characterization system for monitoring the absorption and/or curing rate of a chemical substance applied to an outer surface of an article under test. Infrared and visible light sources controllably output a pulsed beam of coherent light directed at a particular area on the article under test where the chemical substance has been applied. A series of cameras, including a visible light camera, a visible light second harmonic generation camera, an infrared camera, an infrared second harmonic generation camera, a sum-frequency camera and a third-order camera are configured to receive return beams of light. A processor controls the pulse rate of the light sources and the first visible light source and processes the signals received from the cameras to determine when the chemical substance applied to the outer surface of the article under test has been absorbed or has cured.

Claim (Index 10):
An active real-time characterization system for monitoring the absorption and/or curing rate of a chemical substance applied to an outer surface of an article under test, comprising:\n an infrared light source for controllably outputting a pulsed beam of coherent infrared light, the infrared light source configured to direct the pulsed beam of coherent infrared light at a particular area on the article under test where the chemical substance has been applied; a first visible light source for controllably outputting a first pulsed beam of coherent visible light, the first visible light source configured to direct the first pulsed beam of coherent visible light at the same particular area on the article under test; 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 same particular area on the article under test; 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 same particular area on the article under test; and a processor coupled to control a pulse rate of the infrared light source and the first visible light source and to receive signals from the visible light camera, the visible light second harmonic generation camera, the infrared camera, and the infrared second harmonic generation camera, the processor configured to process the received signals to determine when the chemical substance applied to the outer surface of the article under test has been absorbed or has cured.
