Abstract
Remote generation and detection of ultrasound with lasers offer numerous advantages over conventional techniques for material inspection and characterization.1 In particular, this method allows nondestructive measurements of specimens at elevated temperatures and testing of specimens with complicated geometries. The use of a long-pulse laser increases the sensitivity of ultrasonic testing.2
