Modulo Uno – Streamlined MCRQ for low laser power

The Modulo Uno is based on the Quartet platform but uses a single detector array that detects both polarisations of light without splitting the beam. This allows it to operate at lower probe beam powers than the Quartet — an important advantage when working with sensitive or delicate materials.

STANDARD FEATURES

Robust & Versatile — does not require high-accuracy optical components or positioning, making it exceptionally rugged

Rapid Inspection — measurement speeds up to metres per second

Not Wavelength Dependent — compatible with a range of laser wavelengths from visible to infrared

Single-detector MCRQ design — no beam splitting

Lower operating laser power than the Quartet

Fiberised optical head for flexible deployment

Analogue and digital outputs

High sensitivity across all surface types

Scan speeds up to metres per second

Broad wavelength compatibility (VIS–IR)

• Sensitive & Delicate Materials Testing
  • Materials where probe beam power must be strictly limited — polymers, biological tissues, thin adhesive films, and fragile coatings. The Modulo Uno’s single-detector design avoids beam splitting, allowing it to maintain sensitivity at lower laser powers than the Quartet.
• Polymer & Composite Characterisation
  • Non-contact measurement of elastic properties, layer thickness, and defect detection in polymer composites and laminates. Particularly suited to samples where surface absorption or thermal sensitivity constrains the permissible laser fluence.
• Research & Laboratory Laser-Ultrasound
  • An accessible entry point to MCRQ laser ultrasound for university research groups and R&D labs. Compact form factor and lower system cost compared to multi-channel alternatives, without sacrificing sensitivity or surface-type versatility.
• Bonded Joint & Adhesive Layer Inspection
  • Detection of delamination, disbonds, and adhesive voids in multi-layer structures. Low-power operation reduces the risk of thermal effects on adhesive interfaces during inspection.
• Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Sensing
  • Non-destructive characterisation of tablet coatings, thin-film drug delivery systems, and biomedical device components where material integrity is critical, and surface damage is not acceptable.
