TLDR
In this paper, two beams derived from a mode-locked ruby laser were superimposed in an absorbing liquid and the absorbed light produced a spatial and temporal temperature modulation which excited an ultrasonic wave, this was detected by diffraction of lightAbout:

Laser-induced Grating Phenomena
TL;DR: The interference pattern of two laser beams induces periodical variations of the optical properties of matter (refractive index and absorption coefficient). Induced grating structures have been observed in absorbing liquids and solids, plasmas, laser materials, dye solutions and semiconductors as discussed by the authors.

Power requirements and resolution of real-time holograms in saturable absorbers and absorbing liquids.
TL;DR: The diffraction efficiency and the resolving power of the materials has been measured and found to agree with calculations based on the models of a thermal phase grating and a grating produced by saturable absorption.

New High-Power Source of Coherent Microwave Phonons
TL;DR: In this paper, a new scheme for optically exciting intense microsound is proposed, which is generated by the enormous spatially periodic pressure gradients that arise under certain conditions from the interference of two high-power optical beams of short time duration.
