Abstract: An assembly including an optically excited infrared nondestructive testing active thermography system is disclosed. The optically excited infrared nondestructive testing active thermography system includes one or more illumination sources, at least one first reflector, at least one second reflector and a computing resource. The at least one first reflector is arranged about the one or more illumination sources. The at least one first reflector has a near focal point and a far focal point. The one or more illumination sources is/are positioned at least proximate the near focal point of the at least one first reflector. The at least one second reflector is positioned at least proximate the far focal point. The computing resource is communicatively-coupled to a motor that is coupled to the at least one second reflector for manipulating the at least one second reflector between at least: a first spatial orientation and a second spatial orientation. At least one of the first spatial orientation and the second spatial orientation results in the at least one second reflector reflecting light that originates from the one or more illumination sources. The light is directed toward the at least one second reflector as a result of the light being directly propagated from the one or more illumination sources and reflected by the at least one first reflector. A method is also disclosed.
