“…The above analysis on the measurement results indicates the feasibility of applying the dispersion curves of cylindrical Rayleigh waves on the non-destructive evaluation of coatings on a cylindrical surface. As shown in many earlier works [29,30], the layer thickness and/or the elastic properties of coating layers on cylindrical surfaces can be quantitatively determined based on measured dispersion curves and a numerical inversion algorithm.…”

Background Gas-Coupled Laser Acoustic Detection (GCLAD) is a non-contact ultrasonic detection technique whose functioning relies on the deviation that a probe laser beam sustains when intersected by an acoustic wavefront propagating in a fluid. The maximum sensitivity of the technique is typically obtained when the ultrasound insists on an ample portion of the probe laser beam extension, but such a condition can be unfeasible in several non-destructive testing applications (as in case of limited accessibility to the component). Objective In the present work, a solution is provided enabling transformation of the GCLAD device in a point detector. This is based on the use of two mirrors for confining the laser beam in an area with limited width and depth, where reflections however maximize the portion of the probe laser beam subjected to ultrasonic oscillation. Methods The characteristics of the obtained GCLAD probe are thoroughly analysed by applying the device to the detection of surface acoustic waves, propagating on a metal bar and refracting into the air. Two different inspection configurations are considered, whose difference lies in the mutual orientation between laser beam and solid surface. The effect on the received signal amplitude of the number of beam reflections, the dimensions of the resulting device, and the bar axisimmetry is investigated in both configurations. Results The optimization of all the analysed standpoints enables obtaining a compact GCLAD probe that features the same signal amplitude of the non-compact alternative. To obtain maximum responsivity of the system, the number of reflections must be maximized, while the distance between the mirrors must be carefully set based on the employed inspection configuration and the eventual axisimmetry of the specimen. The devised GCLAD compact probe is capable of expanding the application range of the technique also to those cases in which the use of point detectors is desirable, without compromising the signal-to-noise ratio of the resulting acquisitions compared to the non-compact alternative.
