Phonon spectroscopy with chirped shear and compressive acoustic pulses

Picosecond duration compressive and shear phonon wave packets injected into (311) GaAs slabs transform after propagation through ∼1  mm into chirped acoustic pulses with a frequency increasing in time due to phonon dispersion. By probing the temporal optical response to coherent phonons in a near su...
