Abstract
A device and method for measuring a fusion seal quality within a structure comprising a source for providing a focused optical beam of a known intensity to a fusion seal within a structure, the fusion seal reflecting the optical beam according to the fusion seal quality, a receiver for receiving the reflected optical beam and a processor are presented for measuring a intensity ratio between the reflected optical beam and the focused optical beam relating to fusion seal quality. The device may scan the structure and provide an intensity ratio image map for a region within the structure related to fusion seal quality.
