Zusammenfassung:A laser pulse spectrometer system includes a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for controlling the laser pulse spectrometer system. The computer program includes a code segment that receives user selection input data and then remotely instructs the system to vaporize (110) a layer of coating of a component of a turbine with a laser, measure (120) radiation emitted from the surface of the component to determine the chemical composition of the coating, analyze (130) the chemical composition of the coating as a function of depth of the laser, and calculate (140) a useful life of the coating of the component.
