19. We were able to make an independent check of the values found in Ref. 18. After the strain pulse reaches the interface, part of it continues into the liquid. Partial reflection of probe light at the strain propagating in the liquid gives rise to oscillations of the optical reflectivity similar to those observed in earlier work with solids [H. N. Lin, R. J. Stoner, H. J. Maris and J. Tauc, J. Appl. Phys. 69, 3816 (1991)]. These oscillations are of too low a frequency to be evident in Fig. 2(b). From their frequency the sound velocity in the liquid in the Brillouin frequency range can be determined.
