[en] Abstract
We present the development of a speckle interferometer based on CO2 laser and using a thermal infrared camera based on uncooled microbolometer array. It is intended to be used for monitoring deformations as well as flaw detection in aeronautical composites, with a smaller sensitivity to displacement compared to equivalent system using visible lasers. Moreover the long wavelength allows working with such interferometer under out-of-laboratory conditions. A mobile system has been developed on the basis of previous laboratory developments. Then it is validated in a variety of industrial nondestructive testing applications under field working conditions.
