To compliment non-contacting ultrasonic generation using lasers, it is ideal to have a remote, non-contacting detector. An interferometer, based on the Michelson design, has been constructed for the purpose of this thesis, enabling laser generated ul...

Characteristics of a laser-generated acoustic source in solids (1986)
Thesis
Aindow, A. M. (1986). Characteristics of a laser-generated acoustic source in solids. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4421475

This thesis describes a combined experimental and theoretical study of acoustic generation in solids by laser irradiation. Two basic types of laser acoustic source are identified, namely, the thermoelastic and the ablation source. Both sources are d...

Laser-generated ultrasound with applications to non-destructive evaluation (1985)
Thesis
Cooper, J. A. (1985). Laser-generated ultrasound with applications to non-destructive evaluation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4421453

The generation of ultrasound by laser interaction with materials was first studied by White in 1963. Since this time work has been published on both generation in liquids and solids using CW and pulsed lasers. It was first noted by Bondarenko in 1976...
