Analysis of Ultrasonic Signals Generated by Pulsed Laser Action on a Metal Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

An approach of detecting ultrasonic signals generated by pulsed laser is studied. The influence factors are analyzed on the received signals. Based on pulsed laser generating ultrasonic, a metal plate is used as a detected target. The ultrasonic is induced by way of combining high-power pulsed laser with optical attenuation unit, and then received by a piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. The difference between ablation regime and thermo elasticity with different pulsed laser input parameters are compared. Moreover the ultrasonic propagation under different thickness of metal plate and the impacts of relative position of stimulating point and detection point on ultrasonic signal is researched. The validity of this method is demonstrated through these experiments and the laser input parameters are determined when in thermo elasticity.
