Description

The method is described for the nondestructive inspection of small (<100-μm outside diameter) hollow thin (<2-μm wall thickness) transparent shells used as laser-fusion targets. Utilizing the interference properties of light, this method enables measurements of sphericity and absolute wall thickness to accuracies better than plus-or-minus10%. The equipment and calibration procedure are discussed
