Two-laser monitor images through fiery events

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU; Tomsk, Russia) together with colleagues from the E.V. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics SB RAS (IAO SB RAS) are designing an advanced laser monitor that enables observing high-speed processes hidden by powerful illumination. A simple example of such processes is welding. Previously, the research team developed a monitor prototype based on a single laser. Now, they are developing a two-laser monitor. This will make it possible to obtain better images and even to observe X-ray processes.

The development is relevant, first of all, for welding and foundry industries. A number of scientific institutions are interested in it as well. "A working single-laser prototype has already been used for joint research by the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science SB RAS and the Institute of Electrophysics UB RAS," says the project participant Nikolay Vasnev.
