Fine-line sensitivity for holographic interferograms

Improvement in sensitivity of holography, the technique of lensless interferometry, is obtained by enhancing the higher-order structure in the interferogram. By using the light diffracted into higher orders than the first, phase sensitivity is increased over the first order sensitivity by a factor equal to the order number used.

Holographic photography of high velocity particles

Fourier transform hologram camera increases the velocity range for holography by a factor of 10 to 1000. Two different optical systems, using a triangular arrangement of beam splitters and a mirror to illuminate the object from two directions, are investigated.

Dyes, W. A.↗

Stabilization of interferometer fringe patterns

Fringe pattern motion is compensated by closed-loop servo system that adjusts a mirror mounted on piezoelectric crystal, so that path difference in interferometer is maintained at constant values at one point in the field. System is applicable to holography with continuous wave laser sources.

Variable ratio beam splitter for laser applications

Beam splitter employing birefringent optics provides either widely different or precisely equal beam ratios, it can be used with laser light source systems for interferometry of lossy media, holography, scattering measurements, and precise beam ratio applications.

Deformation mechanics of deep surface flaw cracks

A combined analytical and experimental program was conducted to determine the deformation characteristics of deep surface cracks in Mode I loading. An approximate plane finite element analysis was performed to make a parameter study on the influence of crack depth, crack geometry, and stress level on plastic zones, crack opening displacement, and back surface dimpling in Fe-3Si steel and 2219-T87 aluminum. Surface replication and profiling techniques were used to examine back surface dimple configurations in 2219-T87 aluminum. Interferometry and holography were used to evaluate the potential of various optical techniques to detect small surface dimples on large surface areas.

Nondestructive test of regenerative chambers

Flat panels simulating internally cooled regenerative thrust chamber walls were fabricated by electroforming, brazing and diffusion bonding to evaluate the feasibility of nondestructive evaluation techniques to detect bonds of various strength integrities. Ultrasonics, holography, and acoustic emission were investigated and found to yield useful and informative data regarding the presence of bond defects in these structures.
