Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components by Subbarao, Guru Prasad Arudi, Haridas, Aswin, Patinharekandy, Prabhathan, Kapur, Pulkit, Chan, Kelvin, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this context, this paper investigates a flexible optical fiber probe and speckle correlation measurements to quantitatively estimate the average surface roughness, Ra, of areas within internal channels. …”
