A dual-beam, injection-seeded, Nd:YAG laser has been demonstrated for detecting structural defects. This demonstration was part of an on-going project to use dual-reference-beam holographic interferometry to inspect space propulsion components for cracks, structural failures, structural changes, and gas leaks. Potential subjects for inspection include welds, duct work, casings, turbopumps, blades, composites, and ceramics. The maximum dimension of an inspected area ranges from a few centimeters to a meter. The entire optical inspection system is now ready for a demonstration application.
