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 20):
The method of  claim 19 , further comprising the steps of:\n generating a pulsed light beam from a second visible light source; directing the second visible light source at the particular area on the article under test where the chemical substance has been applied; aligning a third-order camera to receive light from the first visible light source and the second visible light source reflected from the outer surface of the article under test; acquiring data from the third-order camera; and using the data from the third-order camera and the data 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 in processing the acquired data from each of the cameras to determine when there are no further chemical changes taking place thereby signifying that the chemical substance has been absorbed or has cured.
