This study reports an imaging method for gigahertz surface acoustic waves in transparent layers using infrared subpicosecond laser pulses in the ablation regime and an optical pump-probe technique. The reflectivity modulations due to the photoelastic effect of generated multimodal surface acoustic waves were imaged by an sCMOS camera illuminated by the time-delayed, frequency-doubled probe pulses. Moving the delay time between , image stacks of wave field propagation were created.

Acoustic nanocavities (ANCs) with resonance frequencies much above 1 GHz are prospective to be exploited in sensors and quantum operating devices. Nowadays, acoustic nanocavities fabricated from van der Waals (vdW) nanolayers allow them to exhibit resonance frequencies of the breathing acoustic mode up to ∼ 1 THz and quality factors up to ∼ 10. For such high acoustic frequencies, electrical methods fail, and optical techniques are used for the generation and detection of coherent phonons.

We introduce a spectral analysis method in picosecond ultrasonics to derive strain pulse shapes in a 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.

A new method of reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) with increased mid-IR efficiency owing to the use of a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer has been developed. An optical setup was implemented using a photoelastic modulator (PEM) to modulate the direction of linear polarization of the probe beam originating from the Michelson interferometer. An original measurement algorithm was proposed to eliminate the influence of spectral inhomogeneity of the PEM efficiency on the obtained spectra using appropriate calibration.

Quantitative point-sensing based on this principle has yet to be reported. In this work, we report a forward Brillouin scattering point-sensor in a commercially available, off-the-shelf multi-core fiber.
