ABSTRACT:
A method and device for determining acentricities in a powder material by illuminating the powder with a collimated coherent light beam of given wave-length which generates a second harmonic in the material. The second harmonic with the fundamental removed by filters is divided by a beam splitter and sent to two photomultipliers -- one of which has a narrow band filter to select only light of one wave-length. If all the light is generated at the second harmonic equal signals are produced by the photomultipliers. If non-second harmonic radiation is produced, a larger signal will be produced in the unfiltered reference channel.
