Bossa Nova Technologies introduces its Laser receiver QUARTET for non-destructive testing
applications in factory conditions. Based on multi-channel random quadrature detection
technology, QUARTET is designed for remote detection of sub-nanometer displacements. No
path stabilization is required. The stability of the interferometer is based on the multi-channel,
parallel demodulation that is done electronically.
Associated with a compact and light fiber head to deliver the probe beam on the sample and collect
the backscattered light, QUARTET is the perfect ultrasonic receiver for fast and reliable scan.

Defects observed with
QUARTET
Robust, Stable & Compact Not subject to stability issues common to long cavity and
path-stabilized interferometers because it does not require control of the optical path
length. Does not use high accuracy optical components or positioning, which makes it
exceptionally rugged.
