Abstract
Laser beam dispersion affects the resolution of Raman and
photo-stimulated luminescence piezo-spectroscopy measurements of
transparent materials. In this paper, we investigate the lateral
spreading of the laser beam and the axial sampling depth of Raman
spectroscopy measurements within thermal sprayed yttria-stabilized
zirconia (YSZ) thin coatings. The lateral diameters of the laser beams
(λ = 632.8 nm and 514 nm) reach approximately ∼160 μm after travelling
through a thickness of 200 μm of air plasma sprayed (APS) YSZ and ∼80 μm
after travelling through 120 μm of electron beam physical vapour
deposited YSZ. The Raman spectroscopy sampling depth was found to be
between 30 and 40 μm in APS YSZ. The beam dispersions within these two
coatings were simulated using the ray-tracing software ZEMAX to
understand the observed scattering patterns. The results are discussed
with respect to the application of these two spectroscopic techniques in
multi-layered thermal barrier coating systems.
