    Abstract: Aspects herein describe an optical delay controller which introduces a desired delay into an optical signal. To do so, the optical delay controller includes multiple reflective surfaces (e.g., mirrors) that establish a closed loop on which an input signal propagates. The optical delay controller includes an output interface that outputs a delayed version of the input optical signal where the delay corresponds to the circumference of the closed loop. For example, the optical delay loop may use a Brewster window as the output interface which permits the optical signal propagating in the closed loop to exit the loop. Moreover, the optical delay loop may include one or more actuators that move the reflective surfaces forming the closed loop relative to each other. Changing the distance between two mirrors changes the delay introduced by the optical delay loop.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for characterizing internal structures via ultrasound by inducing an ultrasonic test wave in a component; developing a test signature based on measured propagation of the ultrasonic test wave through the component; characterizing an internal feature of the component based a comparison between the test signature and a baseline signature for the component; and providing an indication of the internal feature as characterized. In some aspects, the ultrasonic test wave is induced by a laser inducer and/or received by a laser interferometer. The test signature includes one or more of: frequency responses, amplitude responses, and times of flight. The test signature can be used to identify changes in a component over time, verify similarity between different components, monitor thermal processes, and verify an identify of a component.
