The SLS technique has several significant advantages over conventional methods, including: (i) non-contact in situ measurements, (ii) remote placement of laser equipment using fiber optics, (iii) ability to inspect surfaces with complex geometry, (iv) high spatial resolution, and (v) sensitivity high enough to detect fiber-breakage in a single ply.
