Hyperspectraland Extreme Light Diagnostics for Defense-Critical Advanced Materials Processes

Abstract

The objective of this MURI program is to develop the scientific basis for use of ultrafast lasers as materials diagnostics and microfabrication tools for advanced materials and components in Air Force systems. The program is composed of collaborative projects that aim to (1) understand the fundamentals of laser - material interaction for metallic, intermetallic and ceramic materials; (2) quantify the capabilities and/or extend the limits of individual laser-based material interrogation modes, including xray diagnostics, terahertz tomography and "non-destructive" laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) (3) investigate the capability of each technique to detect a particular form of damage; (4) integrate the diagnostic techniques to track damage evolution and provide input to models for component life. This MURI supports the critical Air Force need for new state awareness and prognosis technologies.
