Title: Device and nondestructive method to determine subsurface micro-structure in dense materials

Abstract

A method and a device to detect subsurface three-dimensional micro-structure in a sample by illuminating the sample with light of a given polarization and detecting light emanating from the sample that has a different direction of polarization by means of a confocal optical system.
