Optical Coherence Tomography – Applications in Non- Destructive Testing and Evaluation

Feasibility study: protein denaturation and coagulation monitoring with speckle variance optical coherence tomography

“…[13][14][15][16][17] Moreover, these advantages also have an important role in being adaptable for nondestructive inspections for various thin-layered products, monitoring material conditions, and basic science research. [18][19][20][21] OCT techniques have been especially used to monitor the changes to biological tissues under external stress. For instance, Choi et al 22 monitored the freezing of biological tissue during cryosurgery.…”

Optical coherence tomography based particle image velocimetry (OCT-PIV) of polymer flows

“…Emerging originally from the field of ophthalmology [10], OCT has found an increasing number of applications outside biomedicine in the past few years [11]. Examples range from the measurement of layer thicknesses in multilayer foils [12], the coating thickness on paper [13] or pharmaceutical tablets [14,15], the characterization of laser drilled holes [16], to the investigation of polymer solar cells [17].…”

Nondestructive Measurement of Conformal Coating Thickness on Printed Circuit Board With Ultra-High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography

“…In recent years, great efforts have also been devoted to applying OCT to nondestructive inspection in industry, in particular, to measure the thickness of various industrial materials and products, such as automotive paints, egg shell and multi-layered foils [12]- [14], and the profile of the surface and internal interface [15]. In addition, OCT has also been used for inspecting jade, silicon integratedcircuits, industrial ceramics, LEDs and so on [16]- [20]. In particular for printed electronics products, OCT has been employed to evaluate the internal and surface structure of RF antenna and the encapsulation quality of organic field effect transistor [21], [22].…”
