Holographic nondestructive evaluation at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has been developed for simplified, repeatable and quantitative analysis. The objective of the development work has been to fulfill the needs of the programs for reliable holographic testing. As part of this work two laser holography laboratories have been equipped for application and development of holographic interferometry. The coincident viewing and illumination optical arrangement permits quantitative determination of displacement and strain from holographic interferograms. This work resulted in the development of holographic fringe data acquisition and analysis system for quantitative calculations. Future work will include further development of the quantitative analysis methods, as well as speckle interferometry techniques and pulsed holographic capabilities. The Nondestructive Evaluation Section's goal is to provide a means of technology transfer for materials evaluation. Holographic interferometry is one of the techniques being developed for the nondestructive evaluation of materials.
