ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides systems and methods for non-destructively detecting material abnormalities beneath a coated surface. A terahertz (THz) illumination unit illuminates an area of the coated surface. A detection unit detects light reflected from the illuminated area of the coated surface, and a processing unit images the illuminated area of the coated surface from optical characteristics received from the detection unit.
