60. A case in point is the generation of coherent ultrasound in opaque materials using light pulses. Here, the absorption of a ps-pulse leads first to a rapid temperature rise which converts into elastic strain to launch the acoustic wave [see, e.g., Grahn, H.T., Maris, H.J. and Tauc, J., IEEE J. Quantum Electron., 25, 1989, 2562].
