1. Generation of elastic waves by laser impact

Elastic waves, also known as acoustic waves or ultrasonic waves, are material waves that require mechanical displacement $\vec{u}$ . In an unlimited isotropic solid, two waves can propagate: a longitudinal wave whose polarization ${\vec{u}}_{L}$ is parallel to the direction of propagation, and a transverse wave whose polarization ${\vec{u}}_{T}$ is perpendicular to the direction...
