Abstrakt: The intense optical impulses produced by a laser have been used to generate acoustic transients in both liquids and solids. The optical impulses, which are less than 1 μsec wide, produce transient heating at the surface of an optically absorbing material. The time profile of the resulting elastic disturbance has been studied as a function of the acoustic-boundary conditions at the absorbing interface. The results of a number of other preliminary experiments indicate the usefulness of this optico-acoustic technique for various physical-acoustic studies. [This work is supported in part by the U. S.
