Ultrasonic wave generation by short pulsed laser is revisited in this paper with new experimental work. The generation laser pulse is fiber delivered and a virtually uniform intensity spot is obtained. Ultrasonic pulse strength versus laser pulse energy is obtained for various aluminum and steel surface conditions. To have a better reproducibility, the sample moves after each measurement in order to have a fresh surface for each laser shot. Results show a strong effect of the surface condition. Special attention is paid to the frequency dependence of the generated ultrasonic waves for different laser intensities. The problem of the optimum spot size for a given laser pulse energy is also discussed.
