Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
The non contact generation and detection of ultrasound has recently received considerable attention and the first industrial applications are now emerging. Attention has focused on optical methods and in particular the techniques of laser ultrasound. However there are many applications where the cost of the laser solutions to both generation and detection are prohibitive and other cases where the limitations of interferometric detection are decisive.
