N. Korneev et al., Detection of in-plane components of laser-induced ultrasound in adaptive optical speckle configuration, OPT ENG, 38(6), 1999, pp. 1014-1016
The optical detection of the in-plane displacements on a scattering aluminu
m metal sample, produced by laser-induced ultrasound, is reported. The expe
riments were performed with a GaAs adaptive photodetector operating at lamb
da = 532 nm using a speckle-based referenceless configuration. In-plane dis
placements produced by shear and longitudinal ultrasound waves were observe
d and the estimations of their propagation velocities correspond well to th
e known data. (C) 1999 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
