Substituting low-energy experimental parameters ($\gamma^{-1} \approx$ 40 $\mu$m$^{-1}$, $S$ = 20 mm$^{2}$, $E$ = 10 mJ, $\rho$ = 1000 kg.m$^{-3}$, $C$ = 4180 J.kg$^{-1}$.K$^{-1}$) lead to a maximum increase of temperature of 3 K. This local increase of temperature gives rise to a local dilatation of the medium. The induced displacements can then lead to shear waves: this constitutes the \textit{thermoelastic regime}.  To describe this regime, we suppose supposed  the medium as homogeneous and isotropic; As the depth of absorption (about 50 $\mu$m) is hundred times smaller than the beam diameter (5 mm), we also adopt adopted  a 1D model. The stress $\sigma_{zz}$ is the sum between the axial strain component and the thermal expansion component \cite{scruby1990laser}: \begin{equation}  \sigma_{zz} = (\lambda + 2 \mu) \frac{\partial u_z}{\partial z} - 3(\lambda + \frac{2}{3}\mu) \alpha \frac{ E}{\rho C S \zeta}  \label{eq:stressThermo}
