Here, we have used a 45 μJ laser pulse to accelerate the free surface of fine-grained tantalum films up to peak velocities of ~1.2 km s^–1. The films had thicknesses of ~1–2 μm and in-plane grain widths of ~75–150 nm. Using ultrafast interferometry, we have measured the time history of the velocity of the surface at different spatial positions across the accelerated region. The initial part of the histories (assumed to correspond to the “elastic precursor” observed previously) exhibited measured strain rates of ~0.6 to ~3.2 × 10⁹ s^–1 and stresses of ~4 to ~22 GPa.
