Popis: As deposited, the protective silicone coating applied to electronic packages, such as the chip-on-board (COB), has smoothly curved edges that can be sufficiently reflective to generate optical caustic foci. The geometry of caustic foci is extremely sensitive to the topography of the reflecting surface. We have exploited this fact to develop a new method for monitoring surface distortion during swelling (or shrinkage) associated with the presence of diffused water within the material of the sealant.
