A 12, 1068 (1995)] can be used to calculate the reflectivity of a patterned structure. To calculate ΔR(t), it would be necessary to calculate the reflectivity R of the structure before excitation and again at time t after the geometry has changed as a result of the propagating strain pulses.

21. The density of bulk TaN may be found in Ref. 13; however, the density of thin film TaN depends on the deposition technique.
22. Strictly this orthogonality relation holds only for a closed system, but since the modes radiate at a slow rate we expect it to be a good approximation.
