Measurement of transient strain induced by two-photon excitation

By ultrafast x-ray diffraction we quantify the strain from coherent and incoherent phonons generated by one- and two-photon absorption. We investigated the ferrimagnetic insulator bismuth-doped yttrium iron garnet, which is a workhorse for laser-induced spin dynamics that may be excited indirectly v...
