Ultrafast ellipsometric interferometry for direct detection of coherent phonon strain pulse profiles

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe an ultrafast optical technique to quantitatively detect picosecond ultrasonic displacements of solid surfaces, thus giving access to the longitudinal strain pulse shape. Transient optical reflectance changes recorded at oblique optical incidence with a common-path interferometric configuration based on ultrafast ellipsometry monitor gigahertz coherent phonon pulses. We demonstrate for a tungsten film the quantitative extraction of the strain pulse shape free of distortions arising from the photoelastic effect, and analyze the results with the two-temperature model to obtain the value g3×1017Wm3K1 for the electron–phonon coupling constant. Analysis of the data also reveals a thermo-optic contribution.
