Laser-induced acoustic waves for measurement and imaging

A short pulse of laser light can act as a source of acoustic energy for acoustic imaging. Although there are a number of mechanisms by which the light pulse may generate sound, all require a pulse of high peak power density and short duration. In this work, we address examples where the material is...
