... Use o f a laser diode light source with an integral photodiode, and an appropriate referencing system, may result in a sensor system that could perform both surface roughness and defect sensing online sensing The thesis contains basic information that may be useful as a starting point for further work that is unrelated to determination o f surface properties or even industrial inspection, 1 e much o f the literature survey directly relates to fibre-optic displacement sensing and its application Optical technology is a vibrant area that is becoming a significant part o f Irish industry and research [126] Applications in the automotive industry [127,128], medical devices [44,45,129], vibration [36,37], and semiconductor industry [92,93] are growing A possible inspection project is the use o f low coherency interferometry to measure the width o f perspex or glass sheets online [20] Holographic structured light projectors [130] in conjunction with CCD cameras and the laser tnangulation principle [131] have ...
