This study introduces a new formula for laser picosecond acoustics, improving the analysis of multilayer structures. It helps distinguish between photoelastic effects and material motion in optical reflectance measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Laser picosecond acoustics detects acoustic pulses via optical reflectance changes.
  • Reflectance variations stem from photoelastic effects and surface/interface motion.
  • Analyzing multilayer structures requires precise optical property perturbation calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a general formula for calculating reflectance changes in multilayer structures.
  • To apply this formula to analyze laser picosecond acoustics data.
  • To differentiate photoelastic contributions from motion-induced contributions.

Main Methods:

  • Rigorous one-dimensional treatment of optical property perturbations.
  • Application of the derived formula to a SiO2-Cr double-layer film on fused silica.
