30. Surely, as soon as the complex frequency spectrum of the acoustic strain field η ̃(ω) contains itself some poles or some brunch lines in the complex ω -plane, the contributions to the Eq. to the time-domain signal, from the considered pole at ω = - i ω d 2 in Eq. is not the only one.

32. - 1. From these P i j coefficients and from the stiffness parameters of GaAs, we deduce the photoelastic coefficient as d n / d η = P 11 C 12 + P 12 C 11 + P 12 C 12 2 n (Ref.) and d k d 2 / d η = 2 π λ 2 d n / d η, where λ 2 is the probe wavelength. It is to be mentionned that close to 390 nm there is an efficient optical interband transition (Ref.). As a consequence, the imaginary part of the refractive index is large and similar to the real part. Moreover, due to a huge energy dependence of the optical refractive index, the photoelastic coefficients exhibit large values in the vicinity of this interband transition.

35. The refractive index of ZnO from Ref. is given for a probe ranging from 0.7 to 3.0 eV. The refractive indexes for an energy of 3.1-3.3 eV were extrapolated according to the Sellmeier dispersion law.
