    Area of Science:

    • Non-destructive testing
    • Ultrasonic imaging
    • Laser ultrasonics

    Background:

    • Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasonic imaging is crucial for volumetric assessment of internal features, but conventional methods face limitations like contact requirements and restricted access.
    • Laser-induced phased arrays (LIPAs) offer a noncontact alternative for ultrasonic imaging, with prior work focusing on 2-D imaging using the total focusing method (TFM).
    • 3-D laser ultrasonic imaging remains underdeveloped, with TFM, the gold standard, yet to be realized in this domain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a laser ultrasonic system capable of synthesizing 2-D LIPAs for all-optical data acquisition.
    • To enable and evaluate 3-D TFM imaging using the developed 2-D LIPAs system.
    • To demonstrate the advantages of 2-D LIPAs for volumetric imaging and compare the 3-D TFM results with other established 3-D laser ultrasonic techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a laser ultrasonic system to synthesize 2-D LIPAs for acquiring all-optical data.
    • Application of the 2-D LIPAs system for 3-D TFM imaging of a sample with bottom-drilled holes.
    • Comparative analysis of imaging results against 1-D arrays for defect detection and against monostatic SAFT, bistatic SAFT, and fixed detector methods for 3-D imaging.

    Main Results:

    • The study successfully demonstrated the potential of 2-D LIPAs for volumetric imaging by effectively imaging a crack-like defect, outperforming 1-D arrays.
    • The developed system achieved 3-D TFM imaging using 2-D LIPAs, providing detailed volumetric visualization of internal structures.
    • The 3-D TFM results using 2-D LIPAs showed comparable or superior performance to existing 3-D laser ultrasonic techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented laser ultrasonic system effectively enables 3-D TFM imaging through synthesized 2-D LIPAs, overcoming limitations of conventional ultrasonic methods.
    • 2-D LIPAs offer significant advantages for noncontact, remote, and restricted-access volumetric ultrasonic imaging.
    • This work establishes a foundation for advanced 3-D laser ultrasonic imaging, particularly utilizing the TFM for enhanced defect characterization.
