Abstract
A Q-switched, frequency-doubled ruby laser has been used to generate wide bandwidth ultrasonic transients in aluminum and steel plates. Both longitudinal and shear waves were generated, resultant waveforms being dependent upon the irradiation conditions. Various designs of electromagnetic acoustic transducers were then used to detect these waveforms at the opposite side of the plate. The result is a method of ultrasonic inspection with potential in noncontact applications.
