Abstract

Laser ultrasonic testing includes a laser apparatus; a splitting unit that splits a pulsed laser from the laser apparatus into first and second lasers; a first pulse width conversion unit that converts a pulse width of the first laser; a first optical system that guides the first laser having the converted pulse width to a test object; a second pulse width conversion unit that converts a pulse width of the second laser; a pulse propagation time adjustment unit that adjusts a propagation time of the second laser having the converted pulse width; a second optical system that guides the second laser having the converted pulse width and adjusted propagation time to the test object; and a detection unit that detects a surface displacement change of the test object caused by an ultrasonic wave generated by the first laser when the second laser is reflected by the test object.
