Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0118532A1] Light (34, 34a) from one or more lasers (32, 32a) is scanned across a sheet of glass (2). Light is directly incident on inclusions in the glass (2), and indirectly via reflection from the back surface of the glass. Light (38) scattered from an inclusion thus provides at least two scattering signals to a sensor (18), which may be analysed to determine the location, size and depth of the inclusion. Detected inclusions may be revisited and classified, into smooth scatterers such as bubbles and rough scatterers such as material defects, via a camera which records the pattern of scattered laser radiation. Nickel sulphide inclusions can be further classified via spectroscopic analysis. Modulation of the laser beams (34, 34a) improves accuracy and provides a timing mark for the scattered light.
