Surface Acoustic Waves Excited by Laser Pulses in Isotropic Solids and in Single-Crystals
Monday, November 9, 1992 4:00 p.m. Al. A. Kolomenskii General Physics Institute Moscow, Russia Theoretical and experimental results are presented on the laser generation of surface acoustic waves in isotropic solids and in single-crystals. Two main mechÂanisms are considered: a thermo-optical one and a mechanism connected with the ablation of a substance. In anisotropic crystals…
