Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for the protection of optical components used during laser bond inspection. In one embodiment, an optic surface wetting enhancement is provided on a protective optic to assist in forming a substantially flat film of transparent liquid from transparent liquid applied to a surface of a protective optic. A flat film of transparent liquid on a surface of a protective optic may be used to retain debris and effluent backscatter produced during a laser bond inspection process.

Claim (Index 21):
An optic comprising:\n a first surface and a second surface opposite each other, the first surface and the second surface each having a transparent central portion configured to pass a laser beam; a wicking material to support a transparent liquid within the transparent central portion on the first surface, wherein the wicking material is one of secured to the first surface of the optic by an adhesive and integrated into the optic, wherein the wicking material at the first surface is located outside the transparent central portion of the first surface at a periphery of the transparent central portion of the first surface; and wherein the wicking material is configured to draw the transparent liquid from the transparent central portion of the first surface toward the periphery of the first surface and cause the transparent liquid to form in a substantially flat film on the transparent central portion.
