Detection of shorter-than-skin-depth acoustic pulses in a metal film via transient reflectivity

The detection of ultrashort laser-generated acoustic pulses at a metal surface and the reconstruction of the acoustic strain profile are investigated. A 2 ps-long acoustic pulse generated in an SrRuO[subscript 3] layer propagates through an adjacent gold layer and is detected at its surface by a ref...
