Groundbreaking Laser-Driven X-ray Platform to Enable Next Generation X-ray NDT
Presentation Description
Research Instruments Corporation (RIC) is commercializing its patented laser-driven X-ray platform introducing a new class of X-ray sources that will deliver 100x performance advantages over conventional electron-gun-based X-ray tubes.
Dr Rose-Patrick’s team at RIC successfully executed a NASA proof of concept project where results exceeded goals to demonstrate feasibility for generating 1 MeV X-rays with a compact benchtop X-ray sources powered by ultrafast industrial lasers.
The team will share technical results and imaging examples that included X-rays of jet engine turbine components and other test components from the NASA project.
A roadmap will be presented that illustrates the path to commercialization that is taking shape as RIC works with leading OEMs to bring this X-ray technology to market including NDT
