Physical mechanisms of coherent acoustic phonons generation by ultrafast laser action

TL;DR: This review addresses the microscopic mechanisms that are involved in the photogeneration processes of GHz-THz coherent acoustic phonons (CAP) induced by an ultrafast laser pulse, discussing the deformation potential mechanism, the thermoelasticity, the inverse piezoelectric effect and the electrostriction in condensed matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giant ultrafast photo-induced shear strain in ferroelectric BiFeO3.

TL;DR: It is found that the major mechanism involved corresponds to screening of the internal electric fields by light-induced charges, which in turn induces stress by inverse piezoelectric effect, which opens new perspectives for the use of ferroelectric oxides in ultrahigh frequency acoustic devices and the development of new GHz-THz acoustic sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation and detection of plane coherent shear picosecond acoustic pulses by lasers: Experiment and theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlocal volumetric mechanism of plane shear sound excitation is revealed and a modification of the temporal shape of the reflectivity signal with variation in probe light polarization is observed, both attributed to asynchronous propagation of the acoustic eigenmodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in applications of time-domain Brillouin scattering for nanoscale imaging

TL;DR: Time-domain Brillouin scattering is an all-optical experimental technique based on ultrafast lasers applied for generation and detection of coherent acoustic pulses on time durations of picoseconds and length scales of nanometers as mentioned in this paper.
