    Abstract: A method and a system for photoacoustic inspection of a part are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: photo-acoustically exciting a predetermined position in a predetermined region on a part by pulsed laser illumination, to yield ultrasonic excitation of the part; coherently illuminating a predetermined location in the predetermined region on the part; detecting an illumination scattered from the predetermined location; determining, based on the scattered illumination, a plurality of sequence of two or more temporally-sequential de-focused speckle pattern images, wherein each of the sequences corresponds to one of the predetermined illuminated locations; and determining a set of translations, each determined based on the sequences, wherein each translation in the set is determined based on two temporally-sequential speckle patterns images in the respective sequence.

    Abstract: An optical seismic surveying system including, a multibeam laser source including a plurality of laser-sources, a Diffractive-Optical-Element (DOE), an imager and a processor. The laser-sources direct respective laser-beams toward a single common focal point. The DOE is located at a single common focal point and configured to split each laser-beam into a plurality of laser-beams, toward an instantaneous area of interest. The laser-beams impinging on the instantaneous area of interest produce a laser spot assemblage including a plurality of laser spots. The imager acquires a plurality of defocused images of speckle patterns produced by diffused reflections of the laser spots. The speckle pattern correspond to a respective laser spot and thus to a respective sensing point in the instantaneous area of interest. The processor determines a relative displacement between corresponding speckle patterns in sequential pairs of images and determines a respective time-signal for each sensing point representing vibrations thereat.
