Experimental study of the mechanics of laser generated broad and narrow band surface waves for characterizing surface and near surface layers /

This research describes the development of a laser based ultrasound system capable of generating narrow band surface waves. This system uses an array of laser sources spaced so as to reinforce a particular acoustic wavelength. The optical configuration reinforces wavelengths from 0.5 mm to 6 mm....
