Abstract
A system for monitoring an energy beam burn through has a sheet formed of a material approximately transparent to optical radiation at a desired operating wavelength. A light detector is attached to the sheet. A coating is applied to the sheet and the light detector, wherein penetration of the coating by a light source allows the light source to scatter within the sheet. A response unit is coupled to the detector unit for signaling an alarm when the light detector senses the light source of a predetermined level.
