Abstract
Ultrasonic waves with an exponential temporal profile are produced when a short pulse of radiation is absorbed in an optically thick fluid. Here, one-dimensional frequency and time domain solutions for the pressure are given for Beer's law absorption of radiation in a fluid in contact with a second transparent medium. Experiments are described where short pulses of 532 nm radiation from a Nd:YAG laser are used to generate exponential waves in solutions containing various concentrations of a dye.
