Inspection of PCBs by laser‐induced fluorescence

Abstract

Examines the use of laser‐induced fluorescence for the inspection of printed circuit boards. Discusses how it works, how it compares with other inspection options and what advantages it offers, particularly for the inspection of low‐contrast materials. Concludes that laser‐based automated optical inspection (AOI) has major potential advantages compared with white‐light AOI equipment.
