THE COMPANY.
Sound & Bright specializes in state-of-the-art laser-based ultrasound receivers for non-destructive testing R&D. Our instruments offer unparalleled sensitivity and noise reduction, making them ideal for applications ranging from laboratory research to industrial use. Developed with support from NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF), our technologies are continuously updated to meet our customers’ high standards and innovation goals. Based in Inglewood, California, we build and customize our instruments to order.
OUR PRODUCT LINE.
The Quartet
Hi-bandwidth receiver for industrial NDT solutions
Powered by our patented Multi-Channel Random Quadrature technology, the Quartet features two detector arrays, providing a bandwidth of up to 80 MHz. It offers high sensitivity, requires minimal to no maintenance, supports various laser wavelengths, and enables rapid scans and measurements.
The Modulo Uno
Streamlined MCRQ for low laser power
The Modulo Uno features a streamlined version our patented Multi-Channel Random Quadrature technology, offering a bandwidth of up to 20 MHz. Designed to maintain sensitivity with lower probe beam power than its larger counterpart, the Quartet, the Modulo Uno is both cost-effective and ideal for biomedical scanning and transducer characterization. It also includes a digital output for ease of use.
The Modulo Quatro
Four-point laser interferometry
The Quatro features four measurement channels, each an independent measurement point. It can be built to run multiple closely spaced measurement points through a single optical head, or feature four separate optical heads. Closely spaced measurement points drastically increase scan speeds (x 4) while separate optical heads allow for the measurement of different angles simultaneously, to extract the 3D component. Detection bandwidth up to 60 MHz.
The Tempo 1D
Ultra-high frequency receiver
The Tempo 1D detects surface displacements resulting from UHF ultrasound propagation, up to GHz frequencies. By measuring the spatial component along the probe beam direction, this system is ideal for characterizing micro and nano components.
The Tempo 2D
Multi-component receiver
The Tempo 2D simultaneously measures two components of surface displacement—out-of-plane and in-plane motions—using a single laser probe and a single collecting optic. This capability enables efficient detection of shear waves, especially when the direction of ultrasound propagation is normal to the inspection surface.
