The role of beam dispersion in Raman and photo-stimulated luminescence piezo-spectroscopy of yttria-stabilized zirconia in multi-layered coatings

Abstract: Laser beam dispersion affects the resolution of Raman and photo-stimulated luminescence piezo-spectroscopy measurements of transparent materials. In this paper, we investigate the lateral spreading of the laser beam and the axial sampling depth of Raman spectroscopy measurements within thermal sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin coatings. The lateral diameters of the laser beams (λ = 632.8 nm and 514 nm) reach approximately ∼160 µm after travelling through a thickness of 200 µm of air plasma sprayed … Show more

“…The intensity of the spectrum measured underneath the YSZ was~10,000 times weaker than that measured on the scale on the bare bond coating. As noted by others [28,29] this decline in intensity is due to attenuation of both the incident and luminescent light by the YSZ layer. After 5 × 100 h cycles, spalled Al 2 O 3 -containing scale debris on the YSZ surface obscured the spectra from the interface but debris after 10 × 100 h cycles was removed using compressed air.…”

“…It is well-known that the YSZ layer will increase the laser spot size at the thermally-grown scale due to light dispersion within the YSZ with estimates ranging from 20 μm [36][37][38] to 160 μm [29]. One factor that may improve the spatial resolution is the increased R-line signal from cracked scale [25,39].…”

“…Layerremoval methods can be applied to investigate the stress distribution as a function of depth, but this is destructive (Watkins et al, 1997). Raman laser light could penetrate the thin layer of zirconia, but the light will spread in the coating, making it difficult to determine the interaction volume (Liu et al, 2013).…”

“…For these two methods, to achieve the stress distribution as a function of depth, the samples need to be cross sectioned, ground and polished, which inevitably changes the strain distribution inside the sample. Also, for the Raman method, since zirconia is transparent for most lasers, the beam will spread inside the coating (Liu et al, 2013). This leads to considerable uncertainty in determining the measured sample volume, which in return affects the resolution of the measurement.…”
