A novel laser/EMAT-array system has been developed using a unique magnetic field enhancement design to boost the pickup signal from the EMAT. It offers a non-contact non-destructive evaluation (NDE) system using ultrasound for both generation and detection. The potential of a laser/EMAT system is first demonstrated in a material characterization measurement performed on nuclear graphite samples with various levels of oxidation. Longitudinal velocity measurements were used to estimate Young's modulus for graphite samples with parallel and perpendicular microstructures, where velocity variations were detected for these two types of microstructures. More interestingly, velocity variations were also detected when samples were rotated about their cylindrical axis. This may be the first time that an acoustic birefringence effect has been observed in porous graphite. After creating 3D theoretical models of several magnetic configurations, a configuration with an enhanced magnetic flux density was applied to EMATs sensitive to in-plane (IP) or out-of-plane (OP) ultrasound vibration. This magnetic flux density enhancement resulted in improved EMAT performance. Enhanced IP EMAT characteristics were compared to a previous IP EMAT, where SNRs were 16.5 and 8.3 and resonance frequencies were 17.5 MHz and 8.0 MHz respectively. Similar enhancements were applied to develop an OP EMAT, where in-vivo tissue measurements were carried out. Although ultrasound waveforms were positively detected when the sensor was in contact with sample, it is shown that measurements were not detected by the known EMAT mechanism since predicted voltage levels for tissue were -4 orders of magnitude below noise levels. Signals were thought to have been detected by ultrasound induced mechanical vibrations of the EMAT coil. Instrumentation for an OP EMAT-array was developed using 8 EMAT elements, based on enhanced EMAT design. Sensitivity and calibration measurements were taken to assess array performance, and were compared to a previous single EMAT. Displacement sensitivities of an EMAT-array and a single EMAT were 1.25 mV nm-1 and 0.99 mV nm-1 respectively. Additionally, the minimum detectable displacements for an EMAT-array and a single EMAT were 52 pm and 71 pm respectively. From crosstalk and noise level measurements, it was noted that detected signals were affected more by noise than by crosstalk by -12 dB. The array system proved to be a successful tool in a number of applications. Due to high precision (better than 99%) velocity measurements, anisotropy in metals was examined. In a separate application, detected Lamb waveform variations were used to indicate areas where delamination occurred in a plasma coated nickel alloy. Ultimately, the laser/EMAT-array system generated real-time B-scans in a transmission mode, and real-time B-scans and C-scans in a reflection mode.
