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 1):
A method for performing non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of a target sample based on optical transmission measurements, comprising:\n directing probe light to transmit through a target sample to produce transmitted probe light; using an optical detector to receive the transmitted probe light and to measure optical transmission of the target sample; 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; discriminating measurements of optical transmission of the target sample at the different locations produced by ballistic photons that transmit through the target sample along a straight line and by scattered photons that transmit through the target sample by being scattered away from a straight line; and processing the measurements of optical transmission of the target sample at the different locations produced by ballistic photons and by scattered photons to extract information on a structural pattern distribution in the target sample.
