This paper summarizes recent developments in the laser spallation technique for measuring the tensile strength of planar thin film interfaces. In this technique, a laser-produced compressive stress pulse in the substrate, reflecting from the coating's free surface, pulls the interface in tension and leads to its failure if the tensile amplitude is high enough. Earlier, the critical stress amplitude that accomplishes the removal of the coating was determined through a computer simulation of the process. Recently, the technique was modified so that the interface stress can be determined directly by recording the coating or substrate free-surface velocities using a Doppler interferometer. The recorded surface velocity is related to the interface stress via an elastic wave mechanics simulation. Interface strengths of several metal/ceramic, ceramic/ceramic and ceramic/polymer systems are summarized from our recent efforts. In addition, two developments, the first a novel interferometer to record velocities fro...
