Abstract
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. The latter allows matching the acoustic echoes together with the thermal background and the coincidence peak, for each pulse duration and at any time scale. The broadening of the acoustic echoes and the disappearing of its Brillouin component, along with the diminishing of the thermal coincidence peak, have been demonstrated when increasing the pulse duration. For a constant incident pulse energy, the efficiency of acoustic generation is optimum for the shortest pulses. Nevertheless, for longer pulses designed to obtain thermal conditions below the ablation threshold, acoustic generation could be enhanced.
