Abstract
Disclosed are a femtosecond laser-based ultrasonic measuring apparatus for a 3D printing process, and a 3D printing system including the apparatus. The apparatus includes a femtosecond laser source for generating a femtosecond laser beam irradiated to inspect a state of a printing object formed by melting a base material by a printing laser beam irradiated from the laser source for 3D printing, a beam splitter for separating the femtosecond laser beam generated by the femtosecond laser source into a pump laser beam and a probe laser beam, an electric/acoustic optical modulator for modulating the pump laser beam, a time delay unit for delaying the probe laser beam, a photo detector for detecting the probe laser beam reflected by the printing object, and a lock-in amplifier for detect an amplitude and a phase of the output signal from the photo detector. The femtosecond laser source is disposed coaxially with a laser source for 3D printing.
