Abstract

We introduce a spectral analysis method in picosecond ultrasonics to derive strain pulse shapes in an opaque sample with known optical properties. The method makes use of both the amplitude and phase of optical transient relative reflectance changes obtained, for example, by interferometry. We demonstrate this method through numerical simulation and by analysis of experimental results for a chromium film.
