Interferometric detection in picosecond ultrasonics

Physica B: Condensed Matter, 1999
Abstract We report results obtained using an optical interferometric detection in picosecond ultrasonics. A comparison between signals detected by reflectometric and interferometric measurements was done in various systems: thin films, multilayers and particles in colloids.

Generation and detection of incoherent phonons in picosecond ultrasonics

Ultrasonics, 2006
In picosecond ultrasonics experiments the absorption of a femtosecond laser pulse in a thin metallic transducer is used to generate very short acoustic pulses. These pulses are made of coherent longitudinal waves with a frequency spectrum that can reach 100-200 GHz. The laser pulse absorption gives rise to a heating of the film of a few Kelvin within a

Nondestructive testing of microstructures by picosecond ultrasonics

Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation, 1990
We describe a new method we have developed which can be used to make ultrasonic measurements with picosecond time resolution, and give examples of its application to the study of the acoustic and mechanical properties of microstructures.

Effect of laser pulse duration in picosecond ultrasonics

Journal of Applied Physics, 2006
An optical grating has been introduced in a picosecond ultrasonics experiment, in order to vary continuously the duration of the laser beam pulse from 0.1to150ps. The evolution of the measured signal has been observed and analyzed through the comparison with a theoretical approach based on a two-temperature model.

Simulation of multiwavelength conditions in laser picosecond ultrasonics

SIMULATION, 2021
Complete numerical simulations are given under SciLabĀ® and MATLABĀ® coding environments, concerning propagative acoustic wavefronts, for laser picosecond ultrasonics under multiwavelength conditions. Simulations of the deformation field and its propagation into bulk material are given under different wavelength configurations for optical pump and probe

Parallel detection for picosecond ultrasonics

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
Picosecond laser ultrasonics is a powerful technique for measurement and diagnosis of micro- and nano-scale structures. Unfortunately the data acquisition speeds are slow, this is a major drawback for widespread acceptance and usually makes imaging impractical.
