Acoustic pulse echoes probed with time-resolved X-ray triple-crystal diffractometry.

Acoustic pulse echoes generated by femtosecond laser irradiation were detected using time-resolved x-ray triple-crystal diffractometry. The determined time-dependent longitudinal strain component for pulse echoes in silicon and gallium arsenide plates showed that the polarity of the strain pulse was dependent on the optically induced initial stress, and that the bipolar pulse waveform was gradually deformed and broadened in the course of propagation. The three-dimensional wave front distortion of pulse echoes was shown simply as the pulse duration broadening, which was consistent with a boundary roughness for an unpolished plate.

Determination of the dynamic deformation tensor by time-resolved triple-crystal diffractometry.

Triple-crystal X-ray diffractometry has been combined with time-resolved measurement techniques. A simple time-resolved technique was employed by using a digital storage oscilloscope and a fast X-ray detector. The time dependence of the deformation tensor was determined for a gallium arsenide wafer after a flash of a 130 fs laser pulse. The laser pulse produced instantaneous expansion resulting in a localized convex surface. Time-resolved measurements showed that a flexural standing wave, explained well by the classical elasticity theory for thin plates, appeared in the relaxation process.
