Abstract
A non-contact material assessment system and method are provided. In embodiments, a system includes: a radiation source generating a pattern of diffracted elements; a detector configured to: capture a first image of a first diffracted element when a sample is in an initial state, and a second image when the sample is in a second state; and capture a first image of a second diffracted element when the sample is in the initial state, and a second image when the sample is in the second state; and a controller to: determine a displacement of the first diffracted element based on the first and second images of the first diffracted element; determine a displacement of the second diffracted element based on the first and second images of the second diffracted element; and determine a characteristic of the sample over based on the displacement of the first and second diffracted elements.
